It's a chair! It's a table! It's a...magazine rack? Product Function Follows Form is a design series from Made by Midas. Designer Huibert Muilwijk apparently doesn't like dictating anything to consumers, so the use of these pieces is left to the consumer's discretion. There's obviously a limit to what you could use any of the pieces for, but the idea is interesting. Instead of assuming a piece is a chair, you could play with how you actually use it. Production Function Follows Form is an exercise in postmodern living.
