Trend Hunter previously featured the awesome Cabbage Light by designer Anon Pairot, and now he has wooed us his design again with these fabulous gaffer tape chairs.
Entitled ‘Period 1st tape’ these were created during Maarten Baas’ summer workshop at the Vitra design museum in France. The theme of the workshop was tape.
I can’t get over how well this technique has worked. I want to try it, but doubt very much I can match this effort.
