A collaborative design by HAF, Rui Pereira and Ryosuke Fukusada, the unZIP chair cover set is a sleek way to cover up seats in a shiny and protective coating.
Each chair wrap comes in a tight little box, compacted into a cutout of a classic chair shape that can be unfolded to reveal a full-size chair cover. Four different metallic colors including gold, silver, bronze and black, mean that chairs will still look glamorous and luxurious even when covered up. These sheaths are a smart way to protect furniture so it won't get dusty or scratched in storage, or they can be used to decorate seats for a themed party or wedding celebration.
The unZIP chair cover set will be presented during Milan design week 2013.
