Would you ever consider sitting on a coconut? Probably not, right? Dutch designer Jorrit Taekema will have you questioning that position. Investigating the future of new sustainable materials, he's created the Layer Chair with coconut fibers and natural latex. Sure, it reminds a bit of Frank Gehry's cardboard wiggle chairs… though only ever so slightly… but the intent is more about showcase of innovative ideas than ground breaking aesthetics.
