How fun is this! A [modular lounging furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gioco) that can easily transform from bed to chair to couch with just a couple of zips.

Ping Collection's ZipZip is basically a collection of [upholstered cushions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipster) which come with zippers on all four sides to connect in any configuration you like and can imagine.

The design possibilities are open. A simple comfy carpet, [armchair, couche or a bed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-capsule)... Be creative

Each cushion measures 75x75cm and is made from Loden.
