Be your own chair … and walk it! 4 Möbelklassiker zum Anziehen

What is furniture, what is clothing? Admirers of the icons of chair design here have a choice of four suits, each one printed with a classic piece of furniture. The two-leg frame that goes with it makes it possible actually to sit down, «off the peg» so to speak. It is no longer a matter of decorating your rooms with classic furniture, but of making classic furniture the basis of your own clothing. Putting on this suit, you become one with the myth. As a second skin, the chair lets the person blend in with it physically and psychically, abolishing the boundaries between the human being, furniture and space. Inkjet printing by Création Baumann.
