Let Your Hair Down

Kenneth Cobonpue wants you to tap into your inner child with the fun, funky and fresh Harry Rocking Stool. The fabric strips are stitched on interchangeable covers over a steel base. Colors include yellow, light green, moss green, brown, red and black. The stool, quite literally, rocks! Find a list of distributors on Cobonpue's web site.

Other designs sporting disheveled dignity are the Baby Hairy Bertoia, which has over 2,500 strands of closed-cell extruded sponge cord hand-knotted to a freshly powdercoated, vintage pint-sized Harry Bertoia chair. There's also Charles Kaisin's Hairy Chair, which is a bit more shaggy dog with its shredded paper finely cut to cover a repurposed chair. See a slide show of the chairs for close comparison on the Design Commotion fan page on Facebook.
