The Sosseco outdoor seating design by Felipe Zanardi has a dual purpose. First, the simple but modern Sosseco provides seating for two at either end of a curved metal frame. The sling-style armchairs are formed as the outdoor fabric printed with a trendy graphic pattern drapes over the frame.
However, when the Sosseco is inverted, the design's second, and coolest feature, becomes apparent. The fabric is stretched out between the ends and the Sosseco becomes a hammock. It looks like it may even gently rock for additional relaxation.
Perhaps it’s not so conducive to conversation, but the Sosseco is perfect for sunbathing or chilling out in the park or backyard. The whole unit then folds flat for storage or transportation.
