Recycled Tire Seating

The 'Hermit Crab Chair' Gives New Life to Old Tires and Ceramics

Turn your house into a home fit for a true house hermit with the 'Hermit Crab Chair'. This chair was designed by Joseph Kim as a way to recycled old tires and ceramics into a useful and comfortable chair.

The ceramic mold provides the shape of the chair, while the tire provides the base. The 'Hermit Crab Chair' would be perfect for a rec room or backyard, where the look of a piece of furniture isn't as important as how comfortable it is. I'd definitely come out of my shell and bring the 'Hermit Crab Chair' into my home.
