Belgian Designers Benj&Soto have created soft furnished seats ranging from a 3D watermelon, real 24 kt gold leaf cubes to a life-like palate bench that looks like a stack of money.
The concept behind 'Sit on Everything' is that the brand can create any type of seating, where it is only limited by its imagination. The seats are made with FiberCoating, the brand's patented coated protection on soft foam that makes it durable indoors or outdoors.
Taking over four years to develop, the collection is supported by the Belgian Government and has partnered with brands such as Sony/ATV. The company is currently crowdfunding through Kickstarter to reach €30,000 Euros by August 15, 2016 to complete the project.
