I already feel a lack of freedom just looking at 'The Cage' by Svilen Gamolov. This chair almost looks like it is built out of individual shelves.

I have never sat on a shelf or in a cage and had the results be anything but bad. But with 'The Cage' I think it just might work. Svilen Gamolov always puts cool and original spins on his furniture, and 'The Cage' is no exception. Break free from the norm and take a seat in a cage. You won't regret it.
