When you have a really big, empty wall space and limited seating, buroJET of The Netherlands has the ideal design for you.
What at first appears to be modern art are actually pieces of furniture that fold out and becomes space-saving seats and tables.
An elaborate gold antique sofa folds down to offer seating for three. The black restaurant type table and chairs representation actually becomes a cute table for two - perfect for lunch in a compact space.An ultra-sleek stainless chair folds out into a modern table.
The wall art could be used in a small apartment, a hallway or, I'm thinking, why not in other tight spots like elevators, waiting rooms or bars, where seating needs only to be temporary?
