COD Project by Rami Tareef

The chairs, that are composed of only two materials, are the product of young designer Rami Tareef‘s COD Project (Crafts Oriented Design). Each chair is created by threading 500 meters of polypropylene cord around 10 meters of steel rod.

From the designer:

“The project tries to illuminate the differences and similarities between craft and design; it tests and stretches the limits of their hybridization, and tries to end up with something identifiable from that past world. The COD project deals with wicker/woven furniture − a traditional craft product − and preserves its production values while incorporating innovative design features from the world of mass production.”

The seat has wheels for easier moving , as it can get heavy with all your old reads, and its height depends on the amount of magazines you use.
