I haven't. It starts as a table or bench, and transforms into a chaise lounge, complete with padded headrest. It's Swedish, but curious who might have designed it. Anyone?

Yngve Ekström.
Can't remember the year right now, but I remember it being used as a bad example in period literature for not being very functional or comfortable as a lounge chair. Works nice as a coffee table though.

Thank you! That's great, I really didn't think anyone would know. Actually hadn't realized that Yngve Ekström designed for Dux.

And. . .
an anagram of lounge is. . .longue, French for "long". . .which makes the correct name for this piece "long chair" -- or chaise longue.
Anyway, that's a neato piece. Should we start a thread for convertible furniture ?
