Reducing a system by combining its tools and functions into one single peice allows for less clutter. This peice also provides more versatility and a sense of ownership by allowing the user to change the state of this device from one function to the next.

.

Law 2 further explained in relation to this chair:

When used in the home, as the text states, things like this can fall under the category of organizing existing assests into a systematic function. This method allows one to condense clutter and organize in a way that provides less day to day cleaning up after ones self. A sense of discipline in organization allows day to day life to be less hectic and more relaxed.
