Teddy bears were made even more cuddly by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac when he designed the denim teddy bear armchair for Lee Cooper.

In collaboration with the Lee Cooper 100 Project, Jean Charles de Castelbajac used over 20 types of denim fabrics to construct the bears. The French Designer has been assisted by Nounours, a teddy bear company in France, to assemble each bear and make them into one ultra huggable chair.

**Implications** - This teddy bear armchair would make the perfect gift for any friend, family member or spouse with an affinity for all things cuddly and lovable. By combining the sweet teddy bear design with the practical living room furniture, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac has a winner on his hands.
