I found it while looking for something else. Isn't it amazing?

 

I am not sure that it would hold my weight, but how cool is the crochet!

[CrisKad]

Whoa, that's amazing!

That is gorgeous! The motifs are incredible. How much starch do you think they needed to get it to stand up like that?

i was thinking that they must be using some industrial strength mixture. That is wonderful. I would love to have one of those.

whoa, that is just beautiful!! I'd love to have something like that, if I lived in a world where kids didn't run, climb, jump and bounce that really is just beautiful

Beautiful! But the first time my kids saw it, it would be flattened!

[LadyLayna]

Wow that is nice, do you think it's crocheted around a foam chair structure? Kinda like a pretty slip cover?

[MadCityCrochet]

I agree! The only place that will be useful is in a museum or gallery behind a velvet rope. But what an artist!

The designer is Marcel Wanders and the crochet is covered with epoxy resin. This thread shows another design of his http://crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=48973

 

I googled his name + the word crochet and there are a bunch of images of the designs.

magic thanks for that. I have seen the sqaure table awhile back now that you mention it.

[kookykatlady]

that is neat.... there's no way i could sit in it tho.. the chair would be flat

[purlwise]

A while back, somebody posted a link to a site with a cube table to match this chair. I love them both!

My firewall at work won't allow me to see the link. Says it's adult material with nudity. Is there nudity?

Only the bare wood floor it sits on....the chair is see through and lacy....does that count as lingerie?
