Things That Look (and Sound) Like Other Things: Coat Hanger Chair
By Ray Hu - May 4, 2011
Italian design/e-commerce platform Stylemylife—who brought us Max Battaglia & Matteo Mochi's Pratonzolo—is back with "Size," a chair made out of coat hangers.
For its nominal similarity to Joey Zeledon's "Coat Check Chair," "Size" is a different beast, both in concept and in execution. It may not have the secondary functionality of Zeledon's semi-viral design, but at least (it looks like) you can actually sit on it.
As for what it looks like? A dinosaur spine comes to mind...
