The Afro Chair by Korean designer Yangsoo Pyo-

Series made of notebook 2″ spring + steel frame.

Description by Yangsoo Pyo:

“Afro” is a chair that employed the image of the hair style “Afro Permanent hair.” Springs are used to visualize the tangled and puffed up texture of the afro hair. The springs used to create the “Afro chair” are the two-ring binder springs used to bind together a notebook. The two-ring binders do not get tangled but rather wraps around each other.

Therefore, there is no danger of destroying women’s stockings or knitwear. In fact the chair is very comfy. The manufacturing process of this chair begins with a simple iron frame. Then, the springs are used instead of the normal sponge and leather cover.

I think I’d have to see it in person before I give my final judgment design + comfort wise but… definitely made me smile!
