Tatamu
By 2050 two thirds of the earth population will live in cities. The main ambition behind Tatamu is to provide flexible furniture for people whose space is limited, including those who are frequently moving. The aim is to create an intuitive furniture that combines robustness with an ultra-thin shape. It takes only one twisting movement to deploy the stool. While all the hinges made of durable fabric keeping it light weight, the wooden sides provide stability. Once pressure is applied to it, the stool only gets stronger as its pieces lock together, thanks to its unique mechanism and geometry.
Tatamu Folding Stool by Mate Meszaros was recognized as an exceptional example of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Tatamu Folding Stool earned the Silver A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2020. The A' Furniture Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design competition which recognizes outstanding design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
