This Chair is More Comfortable Than a Barrel of Monkeys

What do you do when an old whiskey barrel has served it’s purpose and come to the end of life? Why, give it a new life of course. And that’s what the wine barrel chair.

Over 99% of the chair comes from recycled/reused wine barrels. In fact, they even use the barrel straps in construction. How cool is that?

As the designers explain,

a work of art, each piece of the planet rooth barrelly made it line of furnishings is made by hand, by working artisians. every work of art is signed and numbered.

Yes, for just $985 this chair CAN be yours.

Cool chair, but I’m not so sure it’s $985 cool. Even if it won’t end up in my living room, it’s good to see they’ve found a good way to recycle the old barrels.
