Stylish Cabbage Chair by Issey Miyake

Japanese designer Issey Miyake had created an environment friendly, stylish chair made out of pleated paper that was produced in huge amount during the process of making pleated fabric, and is now normally abandoned as an unwanted by-product. The stylish chair created for XXIst Century Man was called as the cabbage chair. Just like the cabbage, the chair’s layers will be peeled one by one until it forms a small chair. In commemoration of the first anniversary of the 21_21 Design Sight in Roppongi, Tokyo, the cabbage chair was created. With this wonderful product, pleated papers will not be an unwanted by-product anymore.
