The Geert Decock 'Backbone Chair' takes the artist's talents from the streets to indoor decor. Decock used to be an urban graffiti artist, and is now working on designs for the home.
The featured chair was made from a single piece of metal that has been crafted and bent into a simplistic design. The body is made of a sheet of aluminum, and gains its sturdiness from a tube that holds the backrest and seat portion of the chair together. With a triangular base and clean gray color, the seat looks somewhat futuristic and will make living rooms look minimalist, but stunning.
Fortunately, the seat isn't hard on the sitter either, as it offers some bounce when sitting down.
