Cóm-oda Folding Chairs are designed by Mr. Simon and double as a side table when not in use as chairs.The Spanish term “cóm-oda” mean “comfortable and it also refers to the English term “commode”. In the 1700s commodes were very fashionable and appeared decorated and featured marquetry motifs or carvings. This Cóm-oda set of folding chairs is also very comfortable and the ”.

Cóm-oda
Cóm-oda is a set of folding chairs that, when they are not in use, they form a new element of 
furniture. In this way we try to give them another function and take advantage of those chairs that 
spend most of the time folded and hidden in any corner of the house.

“The dimensions of the M3 measure one cubic meter, standing for a conscious way of appropriating one’s own space. Hence the ‘m3′ reference in the name M3 Chair. It is only via the chair that the open space is defined.
The chair is made of one and only one material: oak. This is a conscious choice of materials, harkening back to the woodworking tradition upheld by furniture workshops of yore. The wood renders the chair’s light construction a static experiment which could only succeed in a handmade, unique item.”

The ‘womb’ shape inspires very different feelings in different people; to me it is a warm, cosy space, for contemplation and rest. There are now 21 cities with populations larger than ten million, and it is predicted that there will be many more in the future. Soaring property prices and lack of available space are causing more and more people to seek alternatives to owning their own home in the city, for example sharing your room with your partner, brother or friend. It is essential to continue to develop new ways of allowing people to comfortably co-exist in these increasingly densely populated environments. By creating an enclosed space ‘Hush’ provides a personal retreat, an escape into a dark, quiet, natural space, or state of mind. Hush can also be transformed to provide more traditional open seating.

As a starting point, I looked at different aspects of common sofas: forms, proportions and the way materials are used. I realized that seating furniture mostly looks static and stiff, because the fabric is traditionally used in a way that does not allow the textile to unfold all its characteristics and abilities. In order to create seating furniture that follows its users’ moods, I enlarged the dimensions of the fabric, detached it partially from the base frame and started to decrease the dominance of the static base construction. By doing so, the furniture becomes as flexible as fabric. Through mixing the characteristics of bed, sofa and chair Moody is a series of cross-over furnitures, called “MOODY COUCH”, “MOODY NEST” and “MOODY BAG”.
