35 Quirky Chair Designs

From Globular Emotion-Inspired Chairs to Odes to LEGO

— October 22, 2009 — Eco
When decorating, many people opt for something different, preferring to pick unconventional pieces not many others have. These 35 quirky chair designs are perfect for the individual who wants to be different. This cluster includes such quirky chair designs as delicate seats made from tissue paper to furniture that resembles cacti.

Implications - The world once marveled at the ability to mass produce, but it seems that now there is a shift back to individuality. From fashion to furniture, consumers are searching for distinct products that they know not everyone will have. Companies hoping to benefit from this transition can once again stray from the norm and experiment with avant-garde and groundbreaking designs.
