Tokyo 2010: here’s another chair by Japanese design studio Daisuke Motogi Architecture (see our earlier story), this time made from a thin mattress folded into a concertina.
Called Sleepy Chair, the project was presented at DesignTide Tokyo 2010 earlier this week.
Photographs are by Takahumi Yamada.
Here’s a tiny bit of text from the designer:

i feel sleepy just by looking at it…
Great explanatory text by Daisuke Motogi. What more should he have said about it?
I wish more designer were able to be so to the point and refrain from unnecesary 'intellectual' blah blah to try to make their projects seem more interesting.
On this sofa to sleep not conveniently, only to have a rest.
I love this Princess-and-the-pea chair!
only in japan….
Ben… could not agree more… best comment in years!
