Carbon fiber seems like it's becoming a go-to material for designers, as demonstrated by this featured Spun Chair. Not only is this piece moldable, it's also lightweight and good-looking.
Created by Danish designer Mathias Bengtsson, the Spun Chair will be exhibited at the the Scandinavia House called 'Nordic Models + Common Ground: Art and Design Unfolded.' Weighing at only 2.2 pounds, it actually is lighter than the new MacBook Air, as PSFK points out.
