It is called the “Tennis Ball Bench” and is…a bench made from ordinary tennis balls…It is in limited edition, designed for the Digital Depot of the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam. The designers are Tejo Remy and René Veenhuizen and the dimensions of this furniture: 46 x 150 x 130 cm.

The prices is estimated at about 4000 euros. My personal opinion is that for this kind of money you can buy something more beautiful, let’s face it, this is not the best looking furniture in the world. Maybe with a little imagination you can build one by yourself.

The Growing Chair is a clear plastic frame in which you grow trees to form a seat shape. After it grows you can remove the frame and plant the tree in your garden, or keep the frame and use it like a real chair.

I would love to have a couple of this tree chairs and a tree table to eat my breakfast in the garden surrounded by nature.

Designer: Michel Bussien

Sit on a stool and under your butt put your books…Hmmmz. This is the idea behind the ‘multifunctional stool’ designed by Can Onart, Elissa Myres & Bethany Casperite. The deep U-s shapes hold big books comfortably! It was made by bending and molding the 8 layers of industrial gray felt ,stuck with epoxy resin, and 2 layers of veneer.

Even more, you can use it as a table!

Peter Cook and Becky Northey began shaping plum tree since 1995 when they met, into living art they call Pooktre. During their first year they started shaping the young trees into a coffee table and a mirror frame. Over the years the trees were shaped and formed into tables, hat and coat racks, chairs, beds, mirror frames and anything else Peter and Becky decide.

The shaping process takes years. New trees are planted in the Spring and Peter and Becky harvest completed pieces in the Fall.

The idea is interesting, but I wouldn’t like such a weird piece of furniture in home.
