&made dual-purpose furniture
The flagship example of &made is this table which literally doubles as a raft (the designers punted around on it for a while to be sure, using the detachable legs as oars). They've also more usefully made ottomans from Christmas tree stands, so that there's actually somewhere to put the dratted thing the other 11.5 months of the year. There's a great interview with the creators at Design Museum talking about how they became designers whether they wanted to or not. [GT]
