‘Canvas’ Collection by YOY Design Studio

Japanese design studio YOY have developed ‘Canvas’ a series of two-dimensional hanging furniture pieces. Presented at Salone Satellite during Milan Design Week 2013, the pieces are constructed out of wood and aluminum. The resulting volume is covered by an elastic fabric – screen-printed with drawings of different types of furniture.

The piece works when the frame is leaned against a wall, stretching when weight is applied – accommodating the user within the newly formed void. Available in three different sizes, the hanging seats come in stool, love seat and sofa variations.
