The ordinary

Recycling ordinary household stuff such as an old stove, ottoman, cozy wood interior and custom-made cinnamon swirl cushions, designer Andy, a student at the University of Cincinnati’s DAAP design school, has come up with a creative seating that unfolds to rest the user in comfort.

Inspiration

Developed as a student design project, the seating is constructed as a piece of art to illustrate a graceful, yet meaningful, example of the principle of reuse. Therefore, the designer has transformed the old household stuff into a piece of interesting furniture which one would not mind sitting on.

The extraordinary

Dubbed the “Transforming Oven Lounge,” the innovative chair works as a comfortable seating space and can be transformed back and forth from lounge to an oven resemblance. Featuring a cozy wood interior and custom-made cinnamon swirl cushions to rest you in comfort, the lounge also provides ample space, at the top, for your books, cup of tea and other stuff. Moreover, it includes a functional battery-powered clock to power an original clock interface.

The making

Sliding the bottom drawer forward to support oven door, which in turn opens to expose the seat, the lounge converts the stove-top into ottoman to complete the seating, while the side drawer opens to expose ottoman cushion and ottoman legs.

Usage

The oven lounge makes an innovative seating space which is not only comfortable to sit on but also presents a unique design to give an altogether different look to your interior. Apart from being a stylish seating or reading space, the lounge gives a new meaning to home decoration. Plus, the storage space at the top keeps your stuff, such as books, cellphone, keys and so on, neatly in one place.
