Dutch designer Sjoerd Vroonland has designed the extension chair with a touch of ‘showing-off’ in mind, as well as the practicality of fulfilling the constant ‘where to hang your bag/coat’ dilemma upon arriving home each evening.

Drawing on the traditional customs of how a chair is used – as a bag holder at a restaurant or a chair-drobe at home when no one is looking – the extension chair features three interchangeable additions, including a coat stand, handbag-hanger and card holder.

Made from solid beech lacquered in matt black, place the chair at a table, in your walk-in wardrobe or simply as a feature piece against a blank wall to show off your latest fanciful purchase.

Combining thoughtful technology, craftsmanship and storytelling in the one design, Vrooland has taken the simplest form of furniture – a chair – and drawn attention to the interactions we have with it and the functions a chair performs each day. The extension chair is available at Space on James Street, New Farm.
