Why did he do this? I don't know, but I am glad that he did. I have been meaning to find something that combines my loves of climbing with my love of lounging. Oscar Andersoon is a student at the Bekmans College of Art, and it looks to me that they are teaching their classes how to think outside the box. Well done.
