‘changeable’
upon observing the limited living spaces in households of metropolitan cities like hong kong, chinese-german product designer wing fung ng has developed ‘changeable’, a coffee table that can be transformed very easily into a chair. in many cases, a small habitable area of just 10 sqm has to serve as both a living room and dining room, thus, the space saving feature of ‘changeable’ allows users to adopt this furniture design to various occasions and purposes.
