Recycled Carrier Bag Chair

3-7-08-bag-chair.jpg

...Carrier Bag meaning plastic grocery bag. We had to share this, even if it's not the cutest or most glamorous item we've ever come across. What it is, though, is an innovative way to turn landfill-guilt hoarding into function.

 
 

It also inspires us to think of using plastic bags as filling for other, perhaps less transparent, things, like floor pillows.

The best-case decor scenario for this chair, we think, is if it were in a room with almost nothing else in it, since the muted busy-ness of the bags would merge with and amplify any visual clutter in the room at all (as in the photo). But left to stand alone, we can stretch our brains to see it as a wry conversation piece. If we try very, very hard.

It comes unfilled, of course, and takes 2,000 plastic bags to fill to capacity.

£75.00 here.

How about making a cloth slipcover for this chair so that the filling is not seen?
