Canvas, A Picture of a Chair that Doubles as a Chair

Canvas is a picture of a chair that also happens to be a functioning chair. The chair consists of a frame of elastic fabric with the image of a chair printed on it.

When the frame is leaned against a wall, a person can sit against the fabric, which conforms to their shape. The Canvas series includes a stool, armchair, and sofa. The series was created by designers Naoki Ono and Yuki Yamamoto of Tokyo-based studio YOY.

Messerschmitt KR200 Kabinenroller (1957)

 

“The Messerschmitt KR200 or Kabinenroller (Cabin Scooter) was a three-wheeled bubble car produced by German aircraft manufacturer Messerschmitt from 1955.

“Messerschmitt, temporarily not allowed to manufacture aircraft, had turned its resources to producing other commodities.  In 1956, Messerschmitt was allowed to manufacture aircraft again and lost interest in microcars. Aales were particularly affected by the increasing popularity of the Mini.”
