Style rides again with furniture made from bikes

bikechair.jpg

Whether you ride a bike or not, you'll be able to appreciate the wild furniture from Bike Furniture Design. Right here we've got a Mini Deluxe Milano Lounge Chair, based on one of the original designs from the company, founded by Andy Gregg in 1990. Love the look (especially the red tires/inner tubes on the arms), but what's with the horn? I guess you could use it to summon your servants, which you probably have if you're buying expensive furniture made almost completely from bicycles. I say "almost," because the bikes can't provide all the material — elements like tabletops and upholstery use parts from train or car windows, carseats, and seat-belt webbing. Sounds a little awkward, but I'm betting any chair made from bike parts would be more comfortable than one made from dirt.
