Ocean-Inspired Lounge Chairs

The Studio OOOMS Sea-Urchin

This ‘Sea-Urchin’ lounge chair from Studio OOOMS looks like it was plucked straight from a seaside tidepool and halved for some impromptu uni.

Its incredible handmade construction features 8,000 cable ties attached to the RVS frame. The ‘Sea-Urchin’ lounge chair is meant to be hung anywhere in your home, but I think it’d be ideal right in the window or out on the lanai of a piece of oceanfront property. Or perhaps in a sushi restaurant.
