In line with my interests in deployability, I chose to build a bench that would convert into two chairs and a table, the Split & Sit. The Split & Sit is inspired by a necessity for space-saving and multi-functional furniture. This would be ideal for city living, dorm rooms, or any other space-constrained area. In its resting state, it takes the form of a small bench. It can then be transformed into two chairs with an end table. The seat of the bench is removed and folds into the table, then the backrests fold up creating the chairs.

FOr this project, we were given one sheet of plywood and the constraints of mechanical fasteners. the task was to design and build a portmanteau: a piece of furniture that has two distinct functions.
