Original and Versatile T@tris Furniture from Pedro Machado

Originally designed by Russia-based Alexey Pajitnov, the Tetris game has enchanted many people over the years since its creation in 1984. By manipulating random sequence of puzzle pieces called Tetriminos,  moving each sideways and rotating it by 90 degrees, one should create a horizontal ten blocks line without gaps. This popular game was the base for other creations, such as the T@tris Furniture . Designed by Lisbon-based designer  Pedro Machado , this solution for small spaces takes the well-known form of Tetris puzzle pieces and displays them in a versatile volume that can come in handy in many situations. All the pieces can be pulled to shape different furniture pieces – two square blocks on each side and a flat surface on top can become a table with two chairs. Other pieces are drawers and can accommodate different personal items. The overall design allows the user to interact with this versatile piece of furniture and create a personalized function.
