Called Dressed Up Furniture, the range includes a bench, cabinets and stools, which all have little areas for storage, hidden behind a felt door.
Here's some more information from the designers:
‘Dressed up furniture series’.
This series is made up of four items, Dressed up stool, Cham, Cham bench and Belt felt.
Dressed up stool
The button on this personified stool is not just a visual effect but a new experience of extended actions such as storing, opening and closing doors.
The upholstery can be locked by the three buttons on the side and also fixed by rolling it up using a magnet when you store something inside.

The highly elastic soft sponge of upper side guarantees durability of the comfortable seat.
Cham
“Cham” is mingled with clothes in terms of functional and shape.

that's so cute.. : ) so sweet!!
Amazingly sweet, cozy, warm and lovable, but I'm afraid of the dusting and cleaning is not thet easy :s
very stylish and nice.
cleaning can be a problem, yes I wonder
With his hair, a paleolithic designer could produced his own material in "his studio" and make furniture like wardrobes, clothing and hats in felt. Now he could shows this and sold it on the web.
Best concept since casamania suitcases …A product that could be selected by Li Elelkoort and also by Marva Griffin, Curator of the SaloneSatellite.
Cyte ? Think about the unumerous rabits killed to produce this felt .-)
But anyway now you can "experience" if the door is open, half-open or closed. Let's face it : a big step forward for humanity.
Ikea-level to me.
didn't understand, it's made of animals, rabbits?
Oooh it is so very pretty!
So Simple but so nice. I love the round stools!
Hercule Poirot-not such a good detective in your case. Felt is made from sheeps' wool which is then shrunk and heated to produce a tough and thickened material we know as felt. No rabbits were harmed in the making of this furniture. I love felt, I use it in my art too :-) http://www.sewyoursoul.co.uk
waaay too twee
and imagine how it picks up dust, they are going to get real grubby real fast
I seriously couldnt be bothered taking my chest of drawers to be drycleaned…
@sewyoursoul
also, felt is not just made from sheeps wool. I know someone who uses alpaca fleece (and occassionally llama as well)
So sweet!! I would see the other version with denim too.
