"Comfy Cargo Chair" by Stephan Schulz

Apart from the fact that it's a dust magnet, I kinda like the idea, absolutely minimalistic, functional and multipurpose!
THE ‘COMFY CARGO CHAIR’ ORIGINATED FROM THE IDEA TO CREATE A PIECE OF FURNITURE WHICH DOES NOT PREDETERMINE THE SURFACE FOR THE USER. THE OBJECT IS NOT FINISHED, BUT RATHER REQUIRES CREATIVE COLLABORATION BY THE OWNER.
THE CHAIR’S FORM IS REMINISCENT OF A THREE DIMENSIONAL GRID. IT CONSIST SIMPLY OF HOLLOW SPACES WHOSE OPEN STRUCTURE REQUIRES FILLING WITH PERSONAL THINGS SUCH AS PILLOWS, BLANKETS, NEWSPAPERS, BOOKS, CUDDLY PETS ETC. BY PACKING THE CHAIR FULL OF PERSONAL BELONGINGS, THE USER CHANGES THE ‘DESIGN’, AND THUS BECOMES THE CREATOR OF AN INDIVIDUAL PIECE OF FURNITURE. CONCEPTUALLY THE OPEN FRAMEWORK OF THE CHAIR IS MEANT TO ASSIST A CREATIVE ACQUISITION, A ‘NESTING’ PROCESS.
