This project explores the connection between advanced computational design techniques and the engagement between of the production of a piece of furniture and embedded architecture. The Chable proposal investigates the idea of the most basic geometry can transform with minimal change. A full range of configurations between a chair and a table is possible by simply changing a few parameters such as the size of the void, overall height, and the length. Material behavior was examined by controlling the response to the human body. With this concept came multiple functionalities from a unique geometrical and constructive process to a functional ergonomic piece of furniture. Using the power of geometry, an invention is formulated that morphs a chair to a table and a table to a chair. This prototypical example was presented and exhibited at the 2009 Milan Furniture Fair.
