Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder, especially when it comes to judging the looks of something like the Cut & Paste Chair. This chair was made by Icelandic designer Sigurdur Gustafsson out of four different types of chairs.
Conventional wooden chairs are molded together with more contemporary designs to create the Cut & Paste Chair. You might think that with a look like this Sigurdur Gustafsson would have trouble unloading these chairs, but he has actually declared them a limited edition with only 100 being made. Exclusivity is the father or coolness after all.
