Chairs From Old TVs

Upcycling Retro Televisions Into Comfortable Seating

Alright, so maybe it is not that comfortable, but who wouldn’t want to have one of these bad boys to show off when you have people over? I would make people take pictures in it. This old school TV chair is actually a product of the 1980s, but could easily be mistaken for a current greenovation.

This old-school television-turned-chair was found in the 1986 architecture book "Freestyle: The New Architecture and Design from Los Angeles" by Tim Street-Porter, and proves that while upcycling may be the hottest new buzzword among DIY environmentalists, this practice has a retro swagger all its own.
