Title: Rag on This: Car Seats Turned Home Furniture
Post by: TheHogRing on November 20, 2011, 07:49:14 am
Okay so I've noticed some furniture upholsterers ragging on car upholstery - no worries, I take it all in humor.

But rag on this: David Clark Designs has released an entire line of home furniture made from car seats: http://tinyurl.com/c9p34ml

It's pretty cool...

Now that is pretty cool. I'm sure they are more comfortable than the standard chairs of today.

Any amount of thought tells you those chairs must be incredibly comfortable!  The major manufacturers put a ton of money and brainpower into seating that's comfortable and designed for safety within an automobile.  The tricky part about repurposing it for use in a home is what sort of support structure you design for it. 

Very cool.

I thought of doing something like this a while back, My mistake was telling my wife and being accused of being the uber redneck  8) wanting to sit on car seats in the house. I'll show her these pics and see if she changes her mind.
