The 'Strap Chair' by Nicolas Baker is a clever, quirky piece of furniture that will offer a solid space to sit that is crafted from unlikely materials.
Featuring a wooden seat and unfinished logs as the base, the chair is assembled with the use of tension straps that keep the various components strategically held together. This enables a chair to be made from whatever simple supplies are available rather than requiring dedicated components along with glue or screws to keep them together.
The 'Strap Chair' encourages an enhanced level of personalization for consumers who are looking to DIY their own furniture yet who need a bit of assistance when it comes to the main components. The remainder of the furniture piece could be sourced from a nearby wood to let makers infuse their own personal touch into the design.
