I've seen some cute furniture before, and I've seen some eclectic, but I don't think I've ever seen anything as eclectically cute (and compact) as the Love, Not War seating. Like an odd bench, it features rather [classic chair backs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yay-chair) as well as a lamp that is attached to one side.

Designed by We Are Skins (W.AR.S), the Love, Not War seating also comes apart to function as [two separates chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/same-same). Perfect for [small spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillowsac-chair-jr), it would also imbue a lot of character into homes instantly.
