This
giant dog of a chair looks like a perfect way to surrender to gravity, with a hardy book, beer or brandy firmly in your grip. Italian designers Elena Belforte and Giusi Rivoira of
con3studio are responsible for this over-sized take on the Pom-pon.
With its construction method taken directly from the Pompon, illustrated appropriately like your gran could make it, the Pompon chair puts to good use an oversized yarn (a recycled waste product of the textile industry we're told), which is bailed together, snipped in half, and flopped over.
The result is this cosy looking ball of fluff, which I think would be hugely useful for losing small children in, or for camouflaging ellicit pets when the landlord visits. Unfortunately for me, the
con3studio website is all in Italian, and somehow the chunky navigation of the site has left me feeling equally illiterate, but there are some glimpses of class among the Progetti.
