Vibrant Seagrass Seating

Superheroes by Glimpt is a Collection of Colorful Woven Stools

— September 1, 2011 — Art & Design
These stools from the Superheroes by Glimpt collection may appear to be more fitting of a child's play room than a family living room, but don't be fooled; these handwoven masterpieces would make an excellent addition to any living space no matter where it's situated.

Superheroes by Glimpt is a collection of home furnishings that are made in Vietnam from seagrass. The pieces are then bound together with threads that are traditionally used in hammock making. I'm extremely impressed by its ability to combine traditional furniture making with vibrantly colored materials.
