# Clothesline Chair Sets Seung-yong Song Reimagines the Chair in His 'Objet' Series By Michael Hines | Published 2012-01-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seung-yong-song References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2012/01/05/objets-by-seung-yong-song/) & [seungyongsong](http://www.seungyongsong.com/) Seung-Yong Song is a Korean designer behind the wonderfully inventive 'Objets' furniture collection. Objets is a set of chairs that are all designed to double as another piece of furniture. While there are plenty of [multifunctional chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chameleon-furniture) in the world, not many of them are designed to work as ladders, [clothes racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grip-hanger) or private hideaways. Each Objet in Song's series has a [unique look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atypical-chair) that makes it look more like it belongs in a Dr. Seuss book than in a home. Objet E is a rocking chair clothesline that uses the rocking motion to help facilitate the drying of clothing. Objet B doubles as a ladder and is my favorite piece. Other Objets include a chair with a giant lampshade over it to provide privacy on-demand and a chair with a shelf as its backrest.
