Israeli designer Moran Barmaper has unveiled the latest model in here series of inflatable metal furniture–yes, you read that correctly.

Barmaper has perfected the blown metal technique, creating a variety of inflatable furniture pieces, including the “Yayu table”, a circular side table supported on three slanted legs, and the “Dan bench”, a crescent shaped seat for two.
