jiri richter: bottle chair


'bottle chair'


czech design student jiri richter has sent us images of his 'bottle chair'.
the project is a study in recycling materials and using them in new applications.
richter has taken empty 2L bottles of soda pop and arranged and bound them in a way,
so that they form a type of concave seating unit. the result is a lightweight, portable
seating option utilizes segmented portions of pool noodles to create the curve
and provides a cushion between the chair and the ground.

Ugly. World has lots of lightweight chairs. inflatable for example.

Recycle those bottles and forget about it.

Reuse is a good, but design have to be nice and attractive. If not this can be the other junk.

the girl is hot, the chair not.

This is a total waste of time on every level, both the designer and chair should be recycled.
