terra. by. nucleo.
What's a lawn chair? Dictionary.com defines it as a "chair left outside for use on a lawn or in a garden." The designers at Nucleo have a different take on it, though. Their definition is a chair made out of your lawn. Called the Terra, of course.
grow. your. own.
The Terra starts out as a cardboard form in the shape of a chair. Fill the form with dirt, then fill the dirt with grass seeds, then add water, then wait. Pretty soon you'll have a lawn chair.
cost. plus. materials.
The Terra is pretty cheap, too. The form costs just $115, although you have to provide your own dirt and seed. As a bonus, you don't have to worry about bringing the chair inside for the winter. On the other hand, you've got to figure out how to mow it.

Nice idea, but I like the Sod Couch even more =)

It's a cool idea, yes. Very reminiscent of the sod couch. But $115? For cardboard? Cardboard that is going to buried and not seen? I have a box cutter. Liquor stores are happy to let you take their old boxes. I'll make you one of these for nothin'.
It wouldn't be hard to mow with a weed trimmer. $115 is seriously insane for some cardboard, though.
Cute!
It's a neat idea in theory, but in practice it means a horde of ants up your ass when in use.
Thanks for the link to the sod couch, I finally bought a house and remembered the article from a while back...this article was the first to pop up so the link saved me.
And with the sofa, you don't have to worry about tripping over it...you just plop yourself down in it and avoid the navigation problem of having to find your keys, not to mention the other problems, like an angry wife waiting up for you...
