The shrinking amount of living space that consumers have in their homes needs to be optimally designed to ensure it's as functional as possible, which is seeing designers respond with new furniture like the 'Anish' chair.
Designed by Emanuele Magini, the seat looks like a circular room divider and actually hides the chair itself behind a large sheath of stretching fabric. This could make it suitable for open-concept living spaces where inhabitants want to designate areas for different tasks rather than needing to put up walls or use traditional room dividers.
The 'Anish' chair was designed for Italy based furniture brand Campeggi and features a demure blue aesthetic that is paired with a rounded gold frame to make it look as high-fashion as possible.
