Home Sweet Home

plywood, douglas fir




This chair literally translates the owner's feelings of being unrooted, without home, and continually displaced. In addition to its furniture function, the chair acts as a shipping or moving crate and allows for the storage of the owner's personal effects. Perched on a pallet jack, it affords the sitter the same luxurious position of repose that a homeowner might experience in his La-Z-Boy® or Craftmatic® adjustable bed, while providing the flexibility and mobility that the average renter requires when his or her current living space becomes gentrified, overpriced and inaccessible. Made from recycled materials, for those that want to be prepared to be priced out of their next neighborhood.
