The Pisa Collection is designed to lean forward as you lean back, a concept unheard of with today’s [level furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tom-dixon-fat-and-plump). Ramei Keum is destroying the notion that furniture needs to be level in order to be functional. The Pisa Collection will obviously get attention due to its famous namesake, but this collection stands on its own two slanted feet in terms of originality and coolness.
