The Evolutie by Tom Dissel follows the idea that every piece of furniture is like a garment. The chair progresses from a metal and fabric frame to comfortable seating solution with the help of a specially designed coat that can also be worn as a functional garment. Dutch designer Diseel collaborated with furniture producer Leolux, to create Evolutie.
The sleeveless, knee length light grey coat that comes with the Evolutie by Tom Dissel works as a kind of upholstery by placing and arranging the coat on the frame. Take it off the chair and put it on yourself for a night out.
