Mexican designer Valentina Glez Wohlers went back to her roots with this amazing Cactus Chair, a design which she presented at the Design Week in Milan.
I love the playful nature of the Barbie pink and the green of the 'cactus.' Rather brilliantly, the cactus theme appears to lend itself perfectly to seating, and a finer example of a novelty chair I can not think of.
Implications - Bringing elements of nature into a product's design is a great way for companies to appeal to consumers. Because many busy city-goers do not have time to enjoy the great outdoors, incorporating naturalistic elements into the home allows these individuals to experience the best of both worlds.
