The Nicoless Backpack is a sustainable accessory solution for urbanites who are seeking out a way to bring a chair with them wherever they go without the need for clunky or traditional folding alternatives. The chair is crafted with recycled plastic bottles and is capable of being folded up into a neat, compact backpack to let users pop a seat wherever they go. This makes it perfect for avid travelers or those who simply want a more comfortable alternative to the traditional park bench.
The Nicoless Backpack is the design work of Slovenia-based Donar and is priced at €229. Maintaining a shell-like design, the backpack has a somewhat compact form factor that won't add too much additional heft to a person's everyday carry (EDC).
