If you put them on top of each other you had a sitting height of 36 cm. They could also be laid side by side to form a simple mattress. TAJT also came with a rolled cushion with a chrome-plated tubular stand, which could be locked to keep the cushion in place. This innovative furniture was designed by Gillis Lundgren.
