Swamp Thing's Dining Room Set



Designer Hongtao Zhou found this chair laying broken in a Wisconsin dumpster amongst printed holiday ads. After concluding that even chairs should get into the holiday spirit, he decided to fix the chair and dress it up for Halloween. Zhou used saw dust and small pieces of wood to give the chair its "Swamp Thing" like appearance, and plans on giving it a fresh look for the Christmas season. Although an outright ridiculous idea, the chair is very visually stimulating, and Zhou is successful in creating a spooky and curious mood around it. It also helps to show the design process at work, and how Zhou was able to connect two unrelated topics (chairs and holidays) to create an interesting design piece. Happy Halloween!
