Cooler Chairs were inspired by cheap beer coolers found at grocery stores. There are two versions of the Cooler Chair: the original Cooler Chair, a massive archetypal armchair that is surprizingly leightweight, and One-Holer Cooler Chairs, small armless chairs that can be arranged in various groupings. Both chairs are made of polystyrene coated with synthetic rubber and have drink holders bored into them to reference the insulative properties of the material.

Pulp Stools are molded from recycled paper pulp and are themselves fully recyclable. In a process reminiscent of cooking, the stools are formed when pulp mixed with water is sucked into a mold, released, then baked in an oven until dry. These stacking seats were inspired by disposable paper trays found at fast food restaurants.

Seven industrial cardboard tubes bound together by a single large tube makes the perfect informal caddy for your favorite wines. This product blurs the distinction between packaging and product - the package is the product. Four polyurethane feet keep the barrel-like rack from rolling.
