Apartment Addition of the Day: A Cantilever Chair
It slides onto the table so you can clean underneath.
One of the challenges of living in a tiny space is coaxing it to conform to your myriad needs. Take cleaning, for example. It can be tricky to vacuum or sweep - where should the furniture go?
No longer. A clever new chair offers a plastic seat that can be lifted, allowing its owner to hang it on a table edge. According to Fast Company, designer Poh Liang Hock got the idea from watching restaurants turn chairs upside down on top of tables. "Sure, it’s a minor breach of hygiene when you consider the kinds of unsavory acts servers have been known to do to customers’ food. Nevertheless, it deserves a design solution," they write.
