To meet the users’ diverse needs and to make the most out of the least available space in modern city apartments, London-based designer Philippe Malouin has designed an amusing piece of furniture dubbed “Tent sofa” for the Italian brand manufacturer, Campeggi. Based on the idea of a couch, this multifunctional tent sofa can be used as an outdoor furniture unit or as a space-saving alternative to sleeper sofas. Furnished in green fabric, the tent sofa, with the impression of a military tent, pitches in a space that is shared or common. Looking like an ordinary chair, the modular furniture transforms into a bed or even an outdoor tent-like shelter. Its arms can be unfolded to create walls to maintain privacy, and a pitched roof around the extended mattress turns it into a cozy and comfortable bed. Speaking of alternatives, it takes the idea of a couch fort to an entirely new level. Check out the video after the jump.
