Stacking Furniture Sets

This Flat Furniture Set Can be Stacked, Stored and Displayed for Guests

— August 19, 2015 — Art & Design
Michal Blutrich created this space-saving living room set of flat furniture pieces that can be stacked in one single tower, or laid out for guests. This collection of furniture titled 'Pile' is comprised of multi-colored blue mats that act as comfortable floor seating. There are also neck-supporting pillows that can act as a cushion to sit on, or a pillow for the user's head. In addition, there is a single table and a lamp.

The table and the lamp both fit into strategically placed holes in the flat blue cushions. This allows users to host dinner parties and game nights without worrying about using space-engulfing tables, or having enough room for guests.

Pile is a unique way to utilize living spaces without having to constantly move and rearrange furniture. Pile is a small and lightweight flat furniture collection, so it can easily be stacked and stored when not in use.
