Artist Ian Blasco has created a foam chair that looks heavy--as if it were carved out of volcanic rock. The Metamorphosis Chair by Ian Blasco is a polypropylene foam chair that is jagged and rock-like on the bottom, and flat like a chair on the top. The design is so interesting because it looks like a rock but is instead super-light.
