The Tunnel series is playfully practical and simply ingenious. This chair acts like a tunnel that can convert into a lounge and also a private hideaway. It's a piece that every home and family needs.

The designer explains, "Just as a cat seeks out hiding places or small spaces to slip into, I wanted to create furniture that can encompass all or parts of the human body."
