The Armchair IN proves that even when it comes to furniture, it's what's inside that counts. The Armchair IN is designed with an inner layer that can be pulled out and used as a side table or removed and used as a foot rest.
The Armchair IN was designed by Renzo Menegon. The chair and removable cushion both have a sort of retro, 60s look to them. This chair is notable as it is one of the simpler examples of modular furniture. Menegon's design seems like it would be easy enough to produce with the technology we live in now. The chair would more than likely be well received, as it cuts down on the need for two additional pieces of furniture (an end table and an ottoman).
