Wicha designs both chairs and surfboards, so this is what happens when his two passions collide.  You get a “lounge chair” with smooth curves and sharp looks.

Posted in Design,Images,Video,environment by Scott Meisner on February 22nd, 2010

The FlexibleLove chair, designed by Chishen Chiu, combines an “accordion-like, honeycomb structure” and recycled paper and wood waste to form an expandable chair than can stretch and fold to make various seating arragements.  The company calls it “ecological, adaptable, practical” and I couldn’t agree more.  I want one!  Look after the break for a video of it in action.
