The First Ever Roll-up Cantilever Chair: Miesrolo

WHERE CAN I BUY ONE!?!?

Photoshop.

Doesn't seem strong.

You'd be surprised how strong that is. My design class made a chair out of cardboard that had a similar design, and it took 300 pounds of weight before falling. Making it out of wood just makes it stronger.
Not Photoshop.

How come everything that seems a little out of the ordinary immediately gets the label "photoshopped"? This is a very possible concept that relies not on the mainstream posts and struts, but on a cantilever. It only looks unstable because it is not the norm. Very cool concept.

That's pretty awesome.

Protip: that was a troll who said, "Photoshopped."
It's always a troll who says, "Photoshopped."
It's quite funny if you say, "Photoshopped."

What makes it sustainable?

Sustainable refers to the wood used to make the chair. It means that the wood was cut from an ecologically-managed forest. The wood has to be a fast growing wood, there are limits as to how much can be cut, there is no fertilizer used in growing the wood, etc. The local forestry agency generally certifies the wood. When purchasing lumber, you can request "certified" wood; it isn't generally more expensive, but it is green.

I don't think they are in production yet. Hopefully, they will be. In the meantime, you can write to the designer, Uros Vitas, on his contact page at Coroflot. Maybe he can keep you updated on his progress:)

Amazing. Just hope that the material doesn't stretch or the chair will begin to sag over time. Also, needs a beer holder.

I luv inventions like this!

Thank you for waking me from my delicious 17-year sleep. You must be the handsome prince. And so kind too... Is there anything else I may have missed during that time?

I did make a mistake which I thank you for pointing out and I have corrected it. If I have, as you say, hurt many people, I do sincerely apologize.

Toby

cheers.

Wood is always fuckng green

Cool chair, stupid people posting about cool chair.

Great idea.

Other suggestions-used pallets, old railroad ties, recycled lumber from houses

The work comes from Serbia (Former Yugoslavia), not a huge mistake, Belgrade was the capitol of Yugoslavia :)

Sustainability in the current project involves use of eco materials (wood - certified source), concept of economy (use of cheap materials including wood waste - offcuts, simplification and standardization of elements or construction for optimal production), and social responsibility concept (in this case an adaptability to user and space - the folding function)

University of Belgrade holds sustainable design workshop every year, it's called 'Rest Wood Design' and according to info on author's Coroflot page this project was inspired by these workshops...

Here's a link to different projects coming out of Belgrade's Rest Wood Workshop, they can't all be 'photoshopped'... The chair is there too, slightly different photos...

that is awesome

the best snowboard videos ive ever seen

Nope. Most of the wood I see is some sort of brown.

It's a very cool concept. Its entirely possible. However this particular image is photoshopped. Also credit is due for the idea. THEY ARE WHAT COUNT!

Can that guy not be such an asshole?

Ps whats with the math?
Fu guys

This has gotta be the one of the best ways for transporting firewood I've seen in a long time. good job!

Damn hard maths question, I had to get my calculator :O

If you were trying to promote the strength of a chair you had designed would you perch yourself on the edge of it demonstrating only a part of its strength or sit in it properly? Somehow I doubt it's as functional as suggested. Perhaps it's a prototype of a design that will eventually be functional but isn't yet.
The idea certainly has merit and the end product would be very easily marketed once perfected.

I can tell by the shadows.

And i've seen a number of shops in my day

Serbs are not so skilled in Photoshop as you were in your days :)

great technical knowledge

Photoshopped shadows and pixels are all wrong.

Here's some more:

Here's a movie from their Salone Satellite exhibition, just watch how real people can sit on a photoshopped chair :)

What the hell is photoshop?

Cool design. I'm not sure why people would doubt the strength as the arch has been used for 4000+ years to hold up massive structures. Wood cantilever chairs are also nothing new. Just google it..

This is not photoshopped.. Shadows can be erased or applied and there is no way of telling. But the form and shape of the chair is possible. It follows a basic and very iconic form.. The panton stacking chair.. It's strong, sturdy and obviously plausible. Look it up moron!

a tear, a small rip on the strap and the chair is good as firewood. The wood actually provides no support for the weight being exerted when one sits down so that is putting a lot of faith on the strip of whatever material they are using to bind the wood pieces together.

The nature is quite delicate, i.e. just take a look at humans - the sophisticated bio-machines, the rulers of the world... But one word, one touch... and they get down...

I don't know if you guys know this or not, but this is photoshopped.. just sayin... :P
