Designers from all over the world have combined creativity and recycling to construct these chairs. Not only are they interesting to look at, but they are also completely usable! Some of the designers even test the chairs to prove they will support your weight, as in the photo above. Check out what we think are the 9 weirdest things people have turned into chairs:
9. Fish
You can easily tell that the designer of this chair spent several years in the fishing industry before pursuing furniture design. Tristan Cochrane took a trip to his local fish market and purchased sardines, which he used to create plaster molds. The chair itself is made out of aluminum based on these molds, but it sure does look realistic, doesn’t it?
8. Skis
Blogger Jennifer Moore spotted these chairs made out of old skis on the side of the road while driving to visit her dad in New Hampshire.
7. CDs
Instead of throwing away your old CDs, why not consider the environment and use them for a project? Belen Hermosa used over 4,000 CDs to create this chair.
6. Street Signs
Designer Boris Bally constructs and sells chairs and tables made from old street signs. He recommends using them in your kitchen to give it more of a modern look.
5. Pencils
Unlike other pencil chairs across the internet, which are designed to make an artistic statement but would give you quite the poke if you tried to sit in them, this chair by Anon Pairot is more user friendly.
4. Cutlery
Designer Osian Batyka-Williams constructed this chair entirely out of recycled silverware.
3. Clothes
Tom Price is a fan of melting together and repurposing various items. One piece of furniture he’s created is a chair made from fleece clothing.
2. Plumbing Tubes
Also by Tom Price is a visually striking chair made out of ordinary plumbing tubes.
1. Shotgun Shells
Topping our list is this dangerous-looking masterpiece of furniture design. Called “The Fully Loaded Chair,” this design by Alexander Reh features over 300 shotgun shells.
