Flexible Love Chair

Eco-friendly and uber-cool is what I’d define the FlexibleLove chair. The Taiwanese company that designed the chair used the concept of a collapsible honeycomb structure that when compact, seats ONE but when fully expanded, seats SIXTEEN! Incredible!

Having a party? Not sure how many guests will turn up? No fear because seating’s not going to be a problem with the FlexibleLove chair. It would be fantastic to own one of these to flaunt and use when you have friends coming over to watch Euro 2008 games at your pad.

I emailed the guys over at FlexibleLove.com to get pricing details and here’s what I found out- USD580 for the FlexibleLove 16 (sixteen seater) and USD390 for its eight seater cousin, the FlexibleLove 8. Pretty hefty price to pay for recycled materials, eh? And shipping fees aren’t even factored into the equation yet.

Despite the steep price to pay for what essentially looks like cardboard, I’m going to applaud the guys over at FlexibleLove for designing products with environment conservation in mind. I’m really hoping to see more furniture made out of recycled materials hitting the local market in the near future. Many of us aren’t aware of how quickly our environment’s resources are being consumed. You only need to watch ‘The 11th Hour‘ and ‘An Inconvenient Truth‘ (rated 93% on rottentomatoes.com) to understand.
