#006 SideSeat by Studio Makkink & Bey for Proof

Product news: Dutch designers Studio Makkink & Bey have combined a desk, shelves and swivel chair to create a flexible workspace in a single item of furniture.

Designed for Dutch Brand PROOFF, the chair can be spun ninety degrees so the arm can be used as a side table and partition while reading, or a surface for desk-based work.

The seat is raised above the chunky base so it can move independently from the rest of the piece.

A shelving unit propped on two feet sit at one end and extends out past the seat so legs can fit underneath. Surfaces can be mixed and matched with shades of beige and bright blue.

The product was first shown at last year's Super Brands London event during London Design Festival and has since gone into production.
