The ‘Plastic Fantastic’ Series is an indoor/outdoor furniture collection by Dutch Studio JSPR. The restored furniture has been given a special Soft Skin rubber coating and is available in a wide range of colors.
While the collection contains different types of chairs, a ‘dressoir’ and lighting fixtures, each piece in the collection is unique. Styles may vary and custom coating customer-sourced furniture is possible.
The sofa is about $7K. The dressoir $1,400.
Trend Hunter spotted the gold sofa in 2007. The line has since been expanded and made more widely available.
