Hong Kong designer Kitmen Keung has created a lounge chair and ottoman by slicing a cube of foam in two.
Called Dual Cut, it was designed for Belgian brand Sixinch.
The two pieces of foam fit together for easy storage and transportation.

Here's some info from the designer:
Splitting a raw rectangular foam block with only two L-shaped cut lines, the Dual Cut Chair and ottoman employs the simplest production processes true to the materials in use with minimal wastage.
It features two ergonomically comfortable seat back angle options of 6° and 23°, and the multi-formation ability to form a one seater with a side table, a chaise lounge or a corner table.
It also easily forms a neat, compact parcel for convenient storage and transportation.
Dual Cut is available in Light Grey and Dark Grey with a 3-layer-system coating making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Dimensions: stacked, w80 x h80 x d93cm; chaise lounge, w80 x h80 x d170cm; ottoman, w80 x h40 x d77cm; seat height 40cm.
Produced by Sixinch.

Excellent idea because it solves several problems : space, use as a coffee table or extension of the sofa, storage & it has a nice design without overdoing… Bravo!

"..the Dual Cut Chair and ottoman employs the simplest production processes true to the materials in use with minimal wastage.." this would make it cheap to buy then?
also how often to people transport chairs around? it's not generally something i take into account when choosing a chair. looks good though, could just do with cutting the BS from the description
very nice minimal approach not only aesthetically but also the production process.
pure modernist.
the model scares me
So beautiful, love it so much, just would like to know where i can buy it in new york !
really nice, where can i buy it which country….. thanks for answer :)
@Dolphin. Conservation of space in transportation from factory to store to home is still a significant concern. Great design.
