Boonchucharoenkit - Seatbelt lounge chair

Under the direction of designer Nuttapong Charoenkitivarakorn, Thai villagers loop lengths of cotton-nylon seat belts around this chair's plywood frame for an industrial take on a traditional weaving technique. “The crisscross pattern,” Charoenkitivarakorn says, “is very dynamic.” Future Perfect, 115 North Sixth Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211; 718-599-6278; thefutureperfect.com.
