What exactly is this Afroditi object about? Is it a bedspread? Is it a piece of furniture, or a kind of light sack to snuggle into, similar to a sleeping bag? Well, its basically a little of all of that or none of it! Nonetheless, this loosely woven piece provides exactly the level of comfort we expect from a bedspread, a cover, a lounger, or a bed. Only its entirely different, it is an absolutely new idea of a, well... piece of furniture? A furniture dress?
