Werner Aisslinger – Grow Your Own Chair

At Electric Trends I found the chair farm mentioned first. I knew Werner is into green design (see his Hemp Chair), but this furthers it. Growing your own chair with a mold. Clever!

Prototype Porosity Bench by Steven Holl

We’d featured it in 2008.
Recently it was up for sale at a Phillips auction in London with an estimate between £8,000 – 12,000, but was not sold. Alas

Gabriele Basílico – Contact 1984 – Rattan Chair

I like this series of photo’s that fetched £91,250 at Christie’s in an October 14, 2010 sale so much that I have to feature it from time to time.

Found at benhammer.

Occasion Chair by Jens Vium Skaarup

A chair for short breaks in small spaces.

Idea
To make a chair for people who live in apartment and which to sit outside in the sun but have to use the sidewalk. The chair has to take up as little space as possible when not in use.

Background
In my old appartement we used to drink coffee outside in the sun on the sidewalk. We used to bring down old garden chairs, but they took up the entire sidewalk and weren’t stable on the uneaven sidewalk. Eventually we stopped bringing chairs.

The chair was awarded at the 2012 FSC-competition for sustainable wooden design
