A group of graduates from Kookmin University’s Spatial Design program Yeaji Kim, Yerim Yoon, and Inyeong Oh were inspired by the pandemic years and created a couple of modular furniture pieces known as “BbBP”.
BbBP consists of a table, two stools, and two chairs that can be combined to cover different needs according to one’s activities and seem like the ideal solution especially for people in small households that can only hold a few furniture pieces.
“The dining table has become the furniture that supports many hours of working, dining, and gathering. we need that straight posture while working and then a more relaxed posture while eating. existing table sets, though, do not meet those needs,” explains the team.
The ‘BbBP’ module offers a simple solution to accommodate users’ new in-house needs and makes up for the limiting qualities of existing table and chair sets.
The project includes a table with two chairs and two stools that can seat up to four people at once. these features can change shape depending on the activity; users simply need to rotate the armrests and backrests and move the detachable stools around.
By moving the stool sideways, users create an extra seat for visitors. Alternatively, if they wish to set up an appropriate seating position for work and focus, homeowners can easily rotate the armchairs around. Finally, each chair includes a hollowed bottom to store a stool that also doubles as a footrest.
