The Hybrid Furniture by Kata Monus is unique and experimental and features never before-seen pieces that use elements of modern day furniture. Kata Monus has created two wooden structures that are integrated by a soft knitted material that is sewn through the two wooden pieces. This string braided into the wooden boxes gives the item a beautifully entangled look.
This 'out of the box' storage unit combines soft and hard materials to create a hybrid piece of furniture that breaks the boundaries of standard storage furniture. The braided string creates an unbreakable and flowing connection between each piece of the furniture.
