I love it when design is fun and whimsical but also practical like this: the Beach Ball chair designed by Tim Webber.
Webber's original idea was to experiment with inflatable structures and he also had a desire to explore and repurpose common objects. Here he takes eighteen beach balls and has bound them in a steel frame which holds the balls securely in place and forms a supportive frame. The balls are positioned in such a way that when seated the body only makes contact with the inflatable objects and not the steel supports, creating unusual and tactile sensations. In addition to the Beach Ball chair, a Beach Ball sofa is also available.
