The 'Hide And Seek' chair is an illusory furniture piece that masquerades as a conventional umbrella, but unfolds to reveal an unexpected functionality. The unit looks like an umbrella when not in use, but can be opened up to reveal a seat upon request to support the needs of those who take public transit or perhaps even the elderly to ensure they always have a place to rest. The frame within the umbrella is crafted with durable materials to support up to 160-pounds of weight, while a stretched fabric offers a bit of comfort for sitters to appreciate.

The 'Hide And Seek' chair is the design work of Yanagisawa Sera and identifies what could be done to make folding furniture even more applicable for the modern consumer.
