ICFF 2010: From the Show Floor

I just had to include this image of the Apple Chair, created by designer Elvira Ziyangirova for Russian design school Artfuture. Each "apple" is made of felt, and adheres to a sack filled with foamed polystyrene. The shape, which offers no back support to speak of, only adds to oddity of the piece.
