Jan 21 2008Man Makes Chairs By Melting Weird Plastics
Tom Price, a designer from London, has made a line of chairs by melting different plastics with a seat-shaped mold. We posted a picture of the rope chair back in June, and here comes the rest of the series. As you can tell it looks like a ball of PVC tubing with a turd-like seat in the middle. I'm finding myself strangely attracted to it. I think it's because it makes no sense whatsoever, like my girlfriend. I mean I rarely have any idea what the hell she's talking about. I guess if I paid attention that would help, but it's really hard with her being so uninteresting. Ha, just kidding honey, you're awesome. And by awesome I mean you're boring and I can't stand you. Yeah that's right, we're breaking up via Geekologie post. Oh god put down that knife. Listen readers -- if there isn't another post in an hour somebody call the morgue. Or Domino's if you're getting hungry.
His other designs, along with a video of the rope chair being made, after the jump.
Thanks to Hailey, who makes me wish I lived in Australia, for the tip

That chair is so low, you could only use it at a Japanese restaurant, or if you're going to drink so much, being closer to the floor is a good thing.

^ He posted the rope chair before, but not with a video and other nonsense.
The chairs would be so much cooler if they were comfortable to sit in.
They should've made the seat in the rope chair beanbag chair-esque.

Hmmm...so the guy pretty much makes a giant ball of rope (which looked painfully boring, since he emptied like three spools of rope), and then molds a crappy seat to it. So these things should cost around...what...$35 right? I mean surely they can't be worth more than that. I appreciate art as much as the next bloke, but when it comes to selling it, I'm also about putting a reasonable price on it.
