'Grow your own chair' project challenges the consumption of materials

Why buy a lawn chair when you can grow one from the dirt? That’s the question asked by design studio Nucleo with its TERRA! project, a series of grass furniture made from cardboard frames, soil and seed. The armchairs and sofas require little skill to build, provided you’re adept at folding cardboard and shovelling dirt, and look as aesthetically pleasing as any shop bought seat, along with being pleasantly biophiliac and environmentally responsible.
