Abstract:
Furniture configurable between a display configuration and a storage configuration that eases transport and storage and reduces the furniture footprint. The furniture includes an upper region that has seating and a backrest, and a lower region that is below the upper region and adapted to engage a support surface beneath the furniture when in the display configuration. In combination, the upper and lower regions define at least first and second sections of the furniture that are coupled by at least one hinge so that the first section comprises a first portion of the upper region and a first portion of the lower region and the second section comprises a second portion of the upper region and a second portion of the lower region, and the at least one hinge is configured so that the first and second sections pivot toward each other when the furniture is in the storage configuration.
