Piccells by Igor Lobanov

Piccells is a piece of inflatable furniture. In its closed state, the long, slender body of the furniture serves as a room divider or as a coffee table. Open, it reveals its content.

This consists of interconnected films that inflate while the carcase, including content, slowly unfolds. The cells can emulate various biological and natural structures and textures. The structures are created by interlinked cell bundles that can be illuminated on the inside. The linking pattern between the individual cells can be adjustable by hand.
