We’ve seen [humans mutate into animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonhuman-life) as art before, but Dazed & Confused thinks there are people out there who love their [furniture and home decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tom-dixon-fat-and-plump) so much, they’d want to mutate and blend into them.

The editorial ‘Mutate’ by photographer Carlotta Manaigo features model Jakob Wiechmann, who was styled by Robbie Spencer in fashion designs that helped him [blend in with the furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-coenen-1) of the room, which was in turn set up by David White.

Jakob becomes a lamp, a chair, a curtain, a chandelier, wallpaper and more.
