dirk vander kooij: extreme makeover


'extreme makeover'


'extreme makeover' is a beanbag made from an old discarded chair. re-appropriated by
dutch designer dirk vander kooij, the leather upholstery has been cut along the seems of the
original chair, which were then sewn together, creating the new shell for the beanbag.
the 50 percent of the original cut up stuffing, and 50 percent of the rest foam,
gives 'extreme makeover' a ballooned shape.
