Panda Chair!

Okay - so I don't have plans to ever put this in my projects, but I was looking for chairs, and I stumbled upon this crazy Panda Chair. Now, at a retail auction it sold for $76,000. It almost makes me want to head to the nearest Toys R Us and take up a new career of stapling stuffed animals to chairs and making bank.



The highly creative and a bit... bizarre designers at Moss Online have brought this Baquete Chair with Pandas (Limited Edition, mind you) to the public created by Fernando and Humberto Campana in 2006. They are manufactured in their studio in Brazil.

And if the construction wasn't evident or anything... it's composed of stuffed animals on a metal base

Their 25 piece collection, featuring the same construction with stuffed alligators, stuffed teddy bears, stuffed dolls, stuffed sharks/dolphins, and others are exclusively sold through Moss Online. It is numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity, signed by the designers themselves.

The dimensions are roughly 41" x 37". And though the auctioned piece sold for a whopping $76,000 - when purchased through Moss Online, the price is omitted and only available upon request.

Unless you can recycle the stuffed animals, I'm fairly certain there are no sustainable materials involved in the construction of this piece.
