Recession Chair..

" Dutch designers Tjep. have reduced part of a mass produced Ikea chair to a skeletal form to evoke the receding state of the global economy.

One corner of the standard chair has been carefully sanded so that hardly any material remains.
The fragile chair can no longer support the weight of a person as, like the economy, it too is diminished."


Some people think it's a great idea. Some think it's different, and some said it's meaningless ! Few said that it is not the role of design to be political!

Yeas, I believe that " Doing things different is not the same as being creative" But this idea is very interesting for sure! Using furniture as a sculpture that evokes an idea or a statement is something I like!   I would like it more if the sanded leg was strong enough ! It's beautiful .. It can be more useful than just a show piece .. that's how we react with the recession.
