Love It or Leave It? Skin Furniture

Posted by Laureen Mahler

My, what a lovely desk and chair set. A little on leggy side, but pretty sleek and... oh dear god, what is that man doing to his desk? It's almost as if he's reaching under its skin! Wait, what? He is reaching under its skin? Ew.

More skin furniture, plus the designer's explanation after the jump:

Designer Nacho Carbonell debuted his Skin Collection at Milan Design Week, and he says it's intended to merge style and convenience. Each piece is covered in a thin elastic layer that serves as "skin," or an extra place to store any number of objects. He also says that his furniture will make you "feel like playing hide and seek." To be honest, I think I just feel a little grossed out.

This is kind of terrifying... the proportions and skin make me think of Skinwalkers.  Ugh.
