Hollow-Bottomed Sofas

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Tru Chair Might Look Voluminous, but it Conceals Plenty of Storage Space

— January 30, 2013 — Art & Design
Homeowners know that you can never undervalue the existence of sufficient storage space. This Tru Chair just happens to give you substantially more than you might expect, considering that its primary function is as a piece of furniture for sitting.

You can't tell when you're observing it from the side, but the 608 Design tuxedo-style armchair has a pair of tall and slender cubbies integrated into its base. The dark wooden boxes are tucked in beneath the upholstered armrests, contributing to the crisp rigid shape of its squared form and possibly to its stability as well.

What you won't have guessed about the Tru Chair is that there's another niche for stashing your stuff. With your magazines and books slipped into the sides, blankets and pillows can be pulled in and out of the under-seat chest according to necessity.
