HUSH transforms from armchair to tent-like retreat ... and back again
« Back to Article
Designed to address our need to sometimes be alone in an increasingly interconnected world, HUSH by UK-based designer Freyja Sewell is a "womb-shaped" pod fashioned from 100-percent woollen felt designed for quiet moments of contemplation or rest
HUSH can also be reshaped into a beanbag-like armchair - duality that makes HUSH as viable an option for the smaller space-constrained dwelling as it is the hipster-infested open plan office
A number of cushions are attached, which form a nest-like floor when HUSH is in its seed case-like tent mode, and the seat of the chair when turned inside-out into the baseball mitt-resembling chair
HUSH is sewn by hand with 150 meters (490 feet) of wool yarn

Article Summary
Designed to address our need to sometimes be alone in an increasingly interconnected world, HUSH by UK-based designer Freyja Sewell is a "womb-shaped" pod fashioned from 100-percent woolen felt designed for quiet moments of contemplation or rest. At least that's how Sewell sees it: HUSH "inspires very different feelings in different people," she writes. But it can also be reshaped into a beanbag-like armchair - duality that makes HUSH as viable an option for the smaller space-constrained dwelling as it is the hipster-infested open plan office.
