We see puzzle-inspired furniture concepts like this every so often, but Sanjin Halilovic's DIS(ORDER) Furniture is a nice take on a collection of multifunctional, loosely modular forms that can be combined—á la Tangrams—for a variety of purposes.The aim established on the very beginning was to get the multifunctional objects which can serve for different usage, which can transform from the shelving system to the objects such as a desk, a chair, mini tables, depending on the disposition of space and the activity of its user (work, relaxation, placing things).

The advantage of this type of design is that nowadays people have less and less space and time, and in that space they need to have different objects which would serve them in their daily activities, because they have the ability to transform—from the shelving system to the desk, chairs, and vice versa.

The Bosnia/Herzegovnian designer completed his degree in product design last year and has a few geometric furniture designs to his name, though he's been working as a graphic designer throughout his studies.

While Halilovic notes that the color-coded trim is intended to impart a "visual difference among the elements and give more dynamic note to the product," I have to say that I think it detracts from the strong formal character of the piece. (Personally, I'd prefer it in a matte black or a slate color, as in Kitmen Keung's "Dual Cut" Chair.)
