These Space-Saving Wooden Chairs Double as Hangers for Your Outerwear

Canadian designer Philippe Malouin has created the perfect chair for your tiny apartment.

As rent prices rise, apartment sizes get smaller and smaller. Still, we all buy huge televisions and truckloads of furniture for our spaces, giving us less room to live in. You have to get your priorities in order if you want to maintain a functional living environment and keep your toys, and Canadian designer Philippe Malouin has a design innovation that could help.

Malouin created the Hanger Chair as a part of the Umbra Shift collection that launched at this year's International Contemporary Furniture Fair. When you're not using the piece as a chair, it can be folded into an oversized hanger, which frees up floor space. The design is brilliant and would be perfect for a dorm room or studio apartment.
