Steven M. Johnson strikes again with this conceptual 'Covert Exercise Furniture.' With a reputation for illustrations depicting hypothetical merchandise that would actually be very useful, Steven M. Johnson delivers the goods once again.
This hand-drawn series of furniture/fitness machine hybrids shows people exercising on tricked-out interior pieces. A seemingly mundane lounge chair houses a fully functioning rowing machine, while a china cabinet is actually a treadmill. The artists' 'Covert Exercise Furniture' drawings are a product of a wild yet rational imagination and a hopeful future.
