This pallet lounge chair by M&M Designers is part of 'Les Palettes,' a series of furniture crafted entirely from used wooden pallets.
The chair is quite angular and doesn't look like it would be all that comfortable to sit on, but with the addition of a plush cushion, it would make lounging by the poolside a dream.
M&M Designers' Behance page for this project includes a diagram with dimensions and simple instructions on how to deconstruct a shipping pallet to construct this eco-friendly lounge chair. Since the pallets come pre-constructed, it's really only a matter of cutting the wood pieces to the proper dimensions and securing them into place with just a few tension straps.
