Happy Chair by Pini Leibovich

Anna Kidman - Monday, March 14, 2011

 

Pini Leibovich is an Israeli designer based in Tel Aviv. He teaches at the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design and also makes furniture on the side. The Happy chair featured above, looks like a positive version of Cousin It, and channels a Campana Brothers' aesthetic with its nod to surrealism and furniture-as-art. Made from thousands of balloons, it's a nice teaser to more of his work that will be on display during Milan design week in April.
