This is a Mexican artist describing where she kept drawings and notes from the 1980s:
Y de debajo de la escalera, y dentro del baúl comprado en los años 70. Un hongo asiento. Y de las gavetas, y de los libreros, y de los muebles destinados para las cosas de la cocina, de los zapatos, de las camisetas, de los calzones. Y así, así, así. Por toda nuestra casita. Qué le vamos a hacer.
A style of chair? A bean-bag chair? Thanks

like a mushroom seat/chair
I think 'hongo asiento' describes 'baúl comprado en los años 70'. It maybe means that the trunk was full of mushrooms (due to the passing of time) and that, because of its shape, it resembled a seat.
Something went wrong...
