Fan-Like Furniture

The Porcupine Chair is Made from Fiberglass and Felt

Never have I come across such an interesting piece of furniture before; I mean, at first I didn’t even realize the Porcupine chair was in fact a chair. Incredibly innovative and supposedly comfortable, it is definitely eye-catching.

Designed by Caterina Tiazzoldi and Eduardo Benamor Duarte, the Porcupine chair is actually inspired by fractal growth (whatever that may be) and, aside from its fanfare, also resembles a porcupine on it’s side.
