Maybe it's because my mind's set in Christmas mode, but I can't help but think about how well the 'Oddbod Chair' would blend into one of those classic stop-motion holiday shows -- perhaps as Santa Claus' recliner?
Designed by Javier Alejandre, the 'Oddball Chair' encapsulates a retro vibe that would probably bring to mind sci-fi references rather than Christmas ones any other time of the year. Made out of rotomoulded PET and pine, the 'Oddbod Chair' "plays at the boundary between an inert object" and an animated movable, according to the Spanish designer.
