Ori.Tami is an example of how design becomes “eco” when it creates versatile and multifunctional objects. Even when the material choices are non-sustainable, so imagine if these were better thought-through.
The name is a combination of the Japanese words Origami and Tatami, the flooring mats that futons are placed on for sleeping. With a few moves, the little base mattress converts into either a chaise longue, an armchair, a couch, according to need. Its chromium-plated steel (chromium is a material beter to be avoided) structure is covered with polyurethane foam padding and Lycra upholstering, reinforced at the joints. Ori.Tami is packaged like a mattress, flat, so its compact size during transport phase further contributes to its sustainability.
