Spotted at Dezeen [5], Cube 6 [6] is an innovative piece of space-saving furniture [7] that transforms from a cube-shaped stool into 6 distinct benches or tables. Designer Naho Matsuno [6] used a system of rails to allow the legs of each small stool to slide into another, while the top of each of the small stool forms the 6 surfaces of a cube.

Made from birch plywood and maple, these stools form a 350 square mm cube when slotted together. Cube 6 [6] is also available in a three-piece format wherein each stool has two surfaces. These tiny stools can be used for a variety of purposes.
As cities become more populous and apartments get smaller [9], transforming furniture [10] offers one way to solve problems of space. We could also see Cube 6 being of great use in primary schools, where it could provide benches for children that can be packed away and pulled out as needed.
