This amusing piece of furniture comes to us courtesy of designer Philippe Malouin for the Italian company Campeggi. Thanks to velcro and a little elbow grease, it can transform from a chair to a tent—and everything in-between.
It is only in the prototype stage at the moment, but I can see this design being useful for outdoor furniture or as a space-saving alternative to sleeper sofas. Speaking of alternatives, it takes the idea of a couch fort to an entirely new level. [Philippe Malouin via Dezeen and Core77]
