Chair Mk 2: Garden furniture

I got bored and thought i'd repair this beautiful old chair with the only thing i had around which was some cable, also salvaged form the yard. Im thinking of keeping it outside- wood and plastic seem to make good garden furniture. Also featured in this blog is another great piece of design: the tube bench, created out of necessity it is pretty much everything that a bench (and possibly design) should be. Made out of what was lying around and simple as fuck: want a bigger bench, get a bigger tube. wire-chair-1.jpgwire-chair-2.jpgtube-chair-1.jpgtube-chair-2.jpg

Chair

At a [re]design interview i was given the book from their award winning exhibition 'sit-up' which was nice of them. It had loads of sweet sustainable chairs- everyone should check out grownup stool by Chris Cattle http://www.grown-furniture.co.uk/- but a piece by Lou Rota (http://www.lourota.com/) reminded me of the spare maps i had stashed and the polypropolene chairs which were hanging around outside.
