The 'Pallet Thief' chair has been designed by Anton Brunberg as a sculptural seating solution that makes use of an unexpected building material to achieve an eye-catching furniture piece. The chair is constructed using a series of recycled pallets that would otherwise be designed for the garbage in order to make use of durable material. What's created is a durable chair with a series of fanning board accents that give the piece visual texture and a sense of movement to make it a true sight to admire.
The 'Pallet Thief' chair answers the question, "How to still celebrate the pure joy of making and craftsmanship without having to use up the planet’s precious raw materials?” that was posed by Anton to himself. The chair gets its cheeky name from the fact that there are billions of wooden pallets in circulation around the world with around 1% of them reaching end of life or being lost each year.
