Honey Pop
Honeycomb structured paper chair
© Nacàsa & PartnersDon't let the cat near this one, and keep your clumsy friend away too... the one who always spills his drink... you know who I mean.

This chair is made of paper. Yup. The Honey Pop chair designed by Tokujin Yoshioka is created from a two dimensional build up of 120 pieces of glassine paper which are glued together and precisely cut. The structure is then "opened" forming a strong three dimensional honeycomb structure. The chair is custom molded by the shape of the person who sits on it and comes in three sizes, large, medium and child. Plus it makes a crunching sound when you sit on it... and that's just cool.

Honey Pop chairs are in the permanent collections of the Pompidou Centre, the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Vitra Design Museum.
