following the idea that every piece of furniture is like a garment, dutch designer tom dissel, together with furniture producer leolux, has designed a coat which can be used as a chair. the coat represents comfortable sitting, working as a type of upholstery in conjunction with a chair frame which functions as the main peg. literally, one just places the coat on the frame to create an immediate seating solution.
