Tweety Family Furniture by Nathan Yong

Vinci Gin-Nen - Friday, August 03, 2012

Resembling the framework of a bird cage, Nathan Yong has designed a chair that was inspired by the loveable Looney-tunes cartoon character Tweety. Yong entertains two questions in his bird cage design. Does a cage protect its inhabitants from predators or does it protect what's on the outside from what's kept inside the cage? Designed to be used both indoors and outdoors, this cage-like chair has managed to seduce us with its exaggerated back rest and a bright, Tweety-coloured cushion cover that stands out against the dark metal frame.
