Luca Cozzi is the designer behind this simple and multifunctional seat dubbed 'UFO.' Unlike typical depictions of UFOs, Cozzi's seat is not shaped like a grotesque creature from outer space. Instead, this small felt chair is designed to be deconstructed and reconstructed at will.
UFO is made up of two felt pieces that zip together to form a three-dimensional triangular stump. The stump itself must be stuffed in order to be sat on. The filling can be anything of your choosing that you deem soft enough to sit on. When you decide to break down UFO, you can use the two pieces of felt as placemats or rugs. It's great to see designers like Luca Cozzi building portable furniture designed for those without cars or large storage spaces at home.
