Lawnchair by Fung + Blatt

07.03.lawnchair.jpg

A witty name and a sophisticated design made this Lawnchair by Fung + Blatt a real hit with us (even though some beg to differ). The chair is made of an aluminum frame and it "upholstered" in sod...

 
 

Fung + Blatt are inter-disciplinary architects involved not only in architecture but also product design. They even have a shop on their website.

We think the Lawnchair is a result of a seamless marriage between their technical building know-how with their exploratory product design. (via AT: Los Angeles and Coolhunting.)

You'd better water that every day in the summer, no exceptions. Actually it looks like there is a hose attached to it.

How long before the sod is totally dead? And what do you do with the damned thing then? And who is going to recline on it and get spiders down their collars? Product design indeed. Sheesh.

Obviously this is meant as sculpture and not as a practical piece of furniture.

Mason, you're correct, as a piece of art, I like it, as long as I only ever have to see it once.

According to the makers' website, it is meant to be fully functional and comfortable. It comes with a built-in watering system. What a waste.
