Each chair is a unique model made of with chairs and goods found in the streets of The Hague in The Netherlands. Each chair is smartened up in +/- 4 weeks.

Azur Playground
The chair and the table before the customisation. Both are good quality and in a good shape. This project is for the little man named Azur. He is around 4 and fond of cars. So vroum vroum, let's go!
Four wheels have been put on the chair and some paintings added.
The idea is to recreate a city on the table like the "Majorette carpet". Now the table is a real city with a police station (and the big fat cop), a hospital (and a wounded teddy bear), some houses, a school, a fire station and a lot of animals.

Teddy Bear Chair
This chair was given by a friend. The shape is very classical and I wanted something visually atractive. I sewed the teddy bears all together and I used safed plastic strings. The whole structure is very strong.
The chair is very confortable and cosy.
The chair is covered with more than 30 teddy bears of all sizes, colors and shapes
Note:no Teddy bear were injured during the opération

Kids chair
Kids are not forgotten. This chair is kids-friendly since it hasn't been varnished and the glue used to stick all the coloring is made of flour, water and sugar. The paper is forest-friendly as well.
During the collage process. 4 layers of paper have been applied on the chair. You can see on the picture that the originals colors were blue and green.
