The Confused Direction Koi deck chair looks like an abstract art piece, especially since it rolls up like a flexible canvas when not in use. Nevertheless, it is a piece of furniture that prides itself more on functionality than form.
Designed by Flo Florian and Sascha Akkermann, the Confused Direction Koi deck chair is intended for exterior use. Unlike traditional folding seats, this one rolls up for more convenient storage. It also acts like a lounger, providing people with more surface to relax on. Perfect for backyards, beaches and campgrounds, the Confused Direction Koi deck chair is extremely easy to pack up and tote around as it takes up significantly less space than other folding seats. It also boasts built-in straps to keep it secure when rolled around.
