The Japanese design studio, YOY created a series of canvases with images of furniture printed on them. Cool, right? Who wouldn't want a bold blue/black of chairs on their wall? But there's a catch--each image acts as a fully functional piece of furniture. The "canvases" are constructed of wood and aluminum and covered by an elastic, screen printed fabric. The canvas is intended to be leaned against a wall. When weight is applied to the fabric, the elastic material stretches to accommodate the pressure and act as a supportive structure. There are three sizes of "seats" that can be purchased, including a stool, love seat, and sofa variations. The designs premiered at Salone Satellite during Milan's Design Week 2013.
