Flip: Flexible, Flippable Modular Public Seating

This Flip public seating concept is by London-based industrial design firm Of My Imagination. The idea is to provide more comfort for waiting areas when they're not full. To that end, individual seats can be flipped out of the way, and a fold-down table on their underside can be deployed.

Tomas & Katrien House / Atelier Vens Vanbelle

The building was designed as a sober and simple volume that is reminiscent of an old atelier or a small-scale classic industrial building. It is constructed from characterful bricks, which give the impression that this building has always been there.
