Last week at Design Miami/Basel in Basel, Switzerland, New York-based graphic designer and typographer Stefan Sagmeister presented a chair capable of displaying 200 patterns. His design is called the Darwin chair and is one piece from the Dutch collective Droop.

Sagmeister has applied graphic design concepts to furniture. The top patterned sheets, when worn or when the user is in need of a change can be ripped back, revealing a new pattern. Each pattern abstractly illustrates a stage in the creation of the universe, the beginning of plant, animal and human life, all the way to the digital revolution.
 
The Darwin chair employs a free swinging structure and as the used patterns are folded back, they form a headrest.

So, relax this summer...in style.
