Thanks to French designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec visitors to London's Victoria & Albert Museum are able to view it's prestigious Raphael gallery in a very unusual way.
As part of London Design Week the pair have created an artistic recline of sorts, giving museum goer's the chance to sit back, relax and fully take in the magnificence of the old school while wholly partaking in the new. As shown below in a wonderful time lapse piece created by Lonelyleap Films, Ronan and Erwan's 'Textile Field' is creating a unique public haven for art lovers:

As explained on the London Design website (http://www.londondesignfestival.com) Textile Field takes up over 240 square meters of the gallery floor and has created a space that closes the formal distance between the viewer and the artwork. 'We have decided to provide a kind of furniture element that helps people to relax their bodies and so relax their minds,' states Erwan Bouroullec, 'And then, maybe, the meaning will come.'
