Blå Station's Pocket armchair has extra built-in storage for bags and laptops

Swedish furniture company Blå Station has launched an armchair by Stone Designs that has an extra compartment to keep restaurants, bars and hotel lobbies free of clutter.

The idea for the chair – which was presented at Milan design week – came about when Stone Designs founders Eva Prego and Cutu Mazuelos stayed at a busy ski resort.

With people's goggles, helmets and backpacks piled up on tables and in the lobby, the pair – who set the studio up in Madrid in 1995 – decided to create furniture that could reclaim the space.
