Living in small spaces takes discipline. Discipline means fewer things. Fewer things need to be smarter things. Designers Leonardo Fortino and Andrea Bartolucci, founders of the Spigoli Vivi project, created something that fits the bill. Helios is a chair by day – simple, functional and understated. But by night it becomes a table with a built-in light. A hidden power-cord slot allows switching the light on and off. Thus, Helios can be employed as a night stand for a visiting guest, a side table, a night light with storage… And this is what minimalism is all about – limited form, limitless function.
