originating from an explicit manifestation, ’empty spray paint cans armchair’ by italian designer luigi semeraro blends creative writing with the contemporary art scene. focusing on the proper instruments used by street artists, the up-cycled chair and pouf utilize left over spray cans which remain non-recyclable. characterized by creativity and detailed planning, the contemporary object is constructed by bonding over 200 empty cans together and securing the form between two painted wood sides. the self-produced, limited edition pieces were recently on show during milan design week 2011.
