# Cozily Versatile Furnishings The ‘Collerette’ Seat by Les M Studios is Comfortable By Courtney Scharf | Published 2012-05-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collerette References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/8/view/21105/collerette-convertible-blanket-pouf-by-les-m-for-casamania.html) & [lesm-designstudio](http://www.lesm-designstudio.com/collerette2.htm) The ‘Collerette’ seat is a versatile piece of furnishing on multiple counts. Acting as both a [footrest and seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipster-seat), a blanket and a sofa, this is a product sure to solve a multitude of comfort issues. Created by French studio Les M, the ‘Collerette’ is a quirky creation by the eclectic design house. The chair/footrest/hybrid’s star feature is that it acts as a blanket as well as a seating area or footrest, providing heat and comfort wherever it’s needed. Featured in two practical colors -- gray and purple -- these hybrids are as functional as they are fun to look at. The ‘Collerette’ is a surprisingly stylish update to tired home furnishings, and integrates comfort and functionality into a [compact product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sander-series). Hopefully, this will be the first of many extra-comfy designs to come from Les M.
