Remember that you will die

How many times were you visually tortured by the spectacle of a white plastic patio chair?

Enough times? Many times? Innumerable times, as the emblematic patio chair has taken over the world. But do not despair! Here comes the solution that will end up the aesthetic suffering, a combination of garden furniture with a memento mori. Souviens toi que tu vas mourir (Remember that you will die), designed by French studio Pool is here to save the garden!

Souviens toi que tu vas mourir is on show as part of the Nouvelle Vague exhibition in Milan this week. Via dezeen

9 degrees to comfortable sitting

Tip Ton stands for the object’s actual characteristics: a  9 degree angle that is created by the shape of the chair’s floor skids permits the user to shift and tilt from a resting to a forward position.

Designed by London-based studio barberosgerby (Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby) for the Swiss furniture manufacturer vitra (on show at Milan design week 2011).
