Milan 08: Cube 6 by designer Naho Matsuno turns from a cube into six stools and back again.
Matsuno showed the project in the Salone Satellite at the Milan furniture fair.
The stools are made from birch plywood and maple and the cube is 350 x 350 x 350mm when slotted together.
A version with three stools is also available (see below).
genious!
Yeah that’s cool, I prefer the version with three pieces, as it is more integrated to the idea of nesting, the first version allows certain pieces the autonomy of normalcy or the traditional stool, while the others are made to accommodate it, most notably the piece in the bottom left of the first image. All in all pretty smart though.
You have to thumb thru the user guide to put the puzzle back together.

space issue won’t be an issue anymore with all those “furnitures inside a box” design trend, great !

The first thing I see coming out of Milan this year that’s clever as well as beautiful and practical!
clever , now evolve with that consept!
I like the idea, after reading and found out that it’s made of maple, I love it !
I was watching Naho last autumn in London design week
showing the cube. Brilliant, intelligent, and with lot of
passion for making future more playful.
Bravo, Naho!
put starck in this magic box and ask him if design is dead?
Beauty, fun, precision and economy. Faultless.
The best i ever seen!
