Lots of great DIY/artsy chairs today! Here’s Tom Price’s “Meltdown Chair” he writes –
This chair is created by heating and pressing a seat-shaped former into a ball of polypropylene rope. The rope begins to liquify as it comes into contact with the heated former and, as it cools, it sets in the shape of a seat creating a contrast in form and texture to the remaining rope. No additional material has been added to make the seat – it is all made from melted rope.

it looks like the website was taken down by the host for exceeding bandwidth.
Youtube video of the chair being made (from their website when I was able to catch it online):
Looks dope. Any idea of what kind of coating they could put on it to keep you from getting cancer?
