foreword:
If you do not of the custom, a good to great percentage of Japanese homedwellers and flat owners still make full use of floor-sitting, and therefore, the paraphenelia (furniture) that is catered to making the pasttime more enjoyable is larger there than here (which is pretty much limited to beanbag chairs here in America).

"Land Peel" Furniture


A flexible carpet imagined in several layers, with the true possibility of unfolding it and of transforming it unbounded.
A project conceived by Shin Yamashita, studying in design with Kyoto Institute off Technology.
“Land Peel” is a modular lounge mat set composed of three individual pieces with extendable
panels that can be reshaped to form various-sized tables and backrests
