Yuvinia Yuhadi is out to reclaim the potential of the ubiquitous plastic lawn chair — as the cheap patio chair "infects the globe" she has started a movement of crafters and knitters that are creating intricate chair cozies and sharing their patterns and creations online...
These are definitely ridiculous — but that's what makes them fun!
You can check out more of her followers' creations (and download a pattern to knit your own) on the blog The Knitted Chairs.

reminds me of a beer cozy
judging from the comments, some folks obviously don't appreciate humor in the context of design. i do. i think the second and fourth image are the most fun and transformative and the designs that also hide the legs of the chair working best.
mesmerizing!
itchy.
The yellow one is the most fun.

I think they're cool!
dirty
I can appreciate all the work and thought that went into these - but if these had been made for an IKEA Tullsta chair, or old chairs found on Craigslist or eBay, I'd appreciate the usefulness and creativity far more
How is a Tulsta chair that costs over a hundred dollars a more useful thing to have recovered than a fifteen dollar plastic lawn chair?
"How is a Tulsta chair that costs over a hundred dollars a more useful thing to have recovered than a fifteen dollar plastic lawn chair?"
Please reread my comment - I didn't say it was more or less useful.
I said that I would appreciate the usefulness of such things more for indoor furniture by creatively solving the need to camouflage an ugly chair into something more attractive - yet I would have no need to be concerned w/ the massive accumulations of soot, filth and dampness on the outdoor furniture on my balcony as well as the inevitable sun-fading.
Of course, your mileage may vary.
Oh yeah, after a few weeks outside, those things would be nasty.
I guess this might work if you have an outdoor chair you want to use indoors, but I can't imagine they'd be comfortable or even look that great.
I think it's interesting how the cozies that completely cover the legs show the true lines of such an ubiquitous chair. It's really kinda cool looking. I like the 3rd one best. It's the least chunky and allows the shape to show. I could totally see it used as an affordable indoor side chair.
