Rrround Seat (2010) by Janne Melajoki and Arttu Kuisma

The Rrround Seat, made with Arttu Kuisma, is made out of approximately 240 square metres of discarded exhibition carpet, all rolled together into a armchair. The look of the armchair can be altered by using carpets of different colours. The main idea is to use recycled exhibiton carpet, because it is normally discarded after one use. Finnish fairs produce approximately 1 000 000m2 carpet waste each year.

The RRROUND seat won the 1st prize in the Habitare ÂŽ10 design competition. The theme of the competition was “Recycled Seat” and the winning piece was chosen by Swiss designer and professor Alfredo HĂ€berli. This is how he explained his choice:

“What do you get when you roll up 250 m2 of recycled exhibition carpet? The idea and the solution are as evident as our presence here at the fair. There is nothing to add to it”.

5 Year Old Speaks #Truth About Digital

on a recent flight i was sitting next to a super smart 5 year old whose family was returning from an Aruba vacation. My ears picked up right away.

Q: “Dad? why did our, or some hotels not have the internet?”

Dad tried to slip out of it and answered: “well, some hotels, um they want you to relax on vacation and get outside, swim, play tennis, golf, and have fun
not be bothered by video games and the internet etc”

The son was thoughtful and answered after a bit “well then why did they give us a TV in our room? and without the internet we couldn’t watch Netflix and Netflix IS TV”

the kids growing up today are in a total on demand content world and internalize it instantly, its unfathomable and confusing to them when they aren’t connected.
