Balint Kormos’ modular lounge chair in the bench position
In London-based sculptor, product designer, artist and all around idea factory Balint Kormos’ own words, he believes only in “high quality work” and therefore aims “to achieve the best at all times.”

Passionate and enthusiastic about art and design, Kormos is always on the lookout for innovative design solutions to further his experience. It seems rather apparent that he has found the ultimate solution when it comes to taking the traditional, stationary lounge chair and transforming it into a dynamic piece of furniture that changes at its user’s command. The Modular Lounge Chair’s frame can be folded and contorted into seven unique seating positions, including as bench, chaise lounge and arm chair. Not only that, the chair is beautifully crafted and exceedingly pleasant on the eyes. Best of all, unlike some other designers (who shall go nameless), Kormos has opted to not mass-produce the chair despite its growing popularity – at least for now. Kormos crafted the Modular Lounge Chair during his time as a student at the University of West Hungary; it was also presented to the Hungarian Design Awards in the Museum of Applied Arts.
