apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

It's definitely different, I think it would look kinda cool filled with fabric scraps and such.

could be cool filled with something else. But still only cool in a kids room/ dorm kind of way. Its chunky and would be sticky to sit on. Who wants to sit on a pile of rubbish?

That is terrible

That looks comfortable *insert sarcasm

I think it's great! It's exciting to see some new ideas injected into the design world instead of the same old shit. This one is filled with trash... but what if it was filled with bright pink fabric scraps? I would buy one!

If it was filled with bright pink fabric scraps, the whole room would vibrate. Lame-o.

I have seen this idea before. I think it was filled with just newspapers, so not really exciting or new. As to filling it with a more appealing material, way to miss the point. I mean, if there was a point that hadn't already been made the last time someone made it.

Also, the Olympics voting: bronze is still a prize. When something is bad, that just doesn't line up for me.

i think eco friendly furniture has moved away from this aesthetic a long time ago. it seems old fashioned.

It's just a pile of trash.

Wow... Amazingly ugly.

eek! It looks like a really bad student project. IMO, not aesthetically pleasing and not so creative. ok idea poor execution.

You're missing the point here-- this is the XS chair. Art maybe, furniture, no. He's more interested in making a point about our repulsive consumer culture than making furniture. Which is fine. But it's not great design.

This chair reminds me of an installation I saw at the Art Institute of Chicago where the artist had hacked open a stuffed animal and spilled its "guts," which were comprised of other stuffed animals, across the floor. Great art, bad toy.

I like the idea but the execution is bad: ugly and uncomfortable-looking. It looks like a pile of trash...

It reminds me of that car ad where the guy throws trash out his car window and the guy next to him collects it all and then creates a giant trash tree made out of all the collected trash and leaves it on his car.

The tree is cooler.

Seems like a publicity stunt to me. Everyone is so appalled by it they talk about it. This guy is just hoping to get his name remembered. Nice try, Nick Demarco.

I couldn't watch the video at work, and so... I just watched it. It looks like something he thought up the night before the assignment was due. His youth may account for the fact he was calling aesthetic solutions a "band-aid" while believing he'd construed a completely original concept also. It appeared initially as a statement against trash, but I hadn't realized the message was I'm going to sell you a shell and you can put anything you like into it. He used trash for "effect," is not entirely suggesting you put your own trash in it for real, and at once, suggesting that his idea over-rides the synthesis of recycled materials into new items by simply stuffing with trash, which you can use old clothes if you don't think the trash looks great. The sky is the limit!

You people are a bunch of boring yuppies. It's not a perfect project, but I admire it for at least attempting to set a different curve than the your average dime a dozen green-washed product.
