The Hollow Chair by Judson Beaumont of Straight Line Designs Inc.

Built from 618 individually cut pieces of Baltic Birch plywood cut out with a CNC machine, the elegant, modern armchair has vinyl upholstery and a simple yet effective shape. Hollow Armchair can accommodate a number of items, from books to toys or anything else you can think of, so it could be useful for any commercial, residential or social space. The designer explains the inspiration and use of the Hollow Chair: “This chair was designed to remove the excess bulk and 3-dimensional footprint out of a traditional arm chair. The chair, by itself, is a perfect accent to nearly any environment you could place it in.”

“When I first got to New York, my feet hit the sidewalk and you’d have thought I was born and raised there. I took over that town. None of my friends took me seriously. I came home and announced, ‘I’m going to move to New York,’ and they were like ‘OK.’ Then when I did, they kept waiting for me to fail and come back. But I knew I wouldn’t. I was like, ‘I’ll show you.’” - Jennifer Lawrence
