A simple system designed by John Arndt and Wonhee Jeong from Oregon comprises assorted table tops and legs that can be assembled in a variety of ways to create different pieces of furniture. Their design firm Studio Gorm will show it at the Direktorenhaus art space in Berlin.

The two Oregon designers are inspired by the Shaker culture of simplicity and modesty to create a furniture system that exemplifies the waste-not-want-not lifestyle. They would be especially useful in a small space, making a small space adaptable for different uses over time.

As different needs arise, tables or stools of different heights and sizes can be easily created.

For example, for a nursery school in a home, this makes it easy to pack up the work day at night to create space in the same space for different activities.

Magnets at the end of the legs make it quick and easy to store them when they are not in use.

The same connections, at the same angle, in each piece make for a completely adjustable system.  Simple perfection.

I can imagine these painted in a lot of different primary colors.
