These padded chairs have been designed by Seoul-based industrial designer Jinyeong Yeon for design brand shirter as a seating solution for those who want to enjoy a cozy feel that's achieved in an eco-friendly way. The chairs are constructed with a relaxed aesthetic that incorporates unsold goose down jackets into the mix for padding, which will give each piece a distinctly comfortable and cozy feel. This helps to keep the garments out of the landfill and give them new life as furniture for the modern home.
The padded chairs maintain the various design details of the original down jackets including stitching lines and pockets, which helps to further add to their charm and make them a one-of-a-kind addition to the home.
