For my studio, I was assigned to make a collaborative furniture item that could be used at school. One of the problems I was faced with was there not being enough desk space for students. With that in mind, I created a chair that housed an expandable table inside of it. Once the table is removed and unfolded, the inside of the chair can be used as a storage compartment for the student's backpack. If students want to work together, they can face the chairs and tables towards each other to create a large table for collaborative projects. When put with other chairs, the two seats without the tables can form a bench. I believe that using this design will maximize the use of space and create an easy way for students to either work together or by themselves.
