80 Meters of Rope Used to Design a Creative Chair by Jon Fraser

Have a stack of rope in your home and not quite sure what to use it for? Here is a clever idea from designer Jon Fraser , who came up with a way of creating furniture from 80 meters of rope. Found on HomeTone , the Ropey Chair combines comfort with function and not to mention originality. According to the project developer, the unique chair is ” a quirky take on the use of materials in the world around us. Differing from other fibre/resin composite furniture, Ropey Chair also retains the softness of the Sisal weave in the seating bucket. The result is a striking and comfortable combination. Ropey chair is made from 80 metres of sisal rope soaked in polyurethane resin and cured into 20 unique profiles, which create a smoothly contoured surface. In designing Ropey Chair I considered many possible iterations. However, I chose to make the looped stool as I felt its simple form did not overwhelm the story behind the chair .” Can you guess how long it took for Jon to put together this out-of-the-box design? To prove the process is not exactly an easy one, the chair was a one-week job. We really like the outcome and are wondering if you feel the same way.
