CocolicoEach day, one green design.

It looks like Tal Schwartz, a designer from Israel, is a basketball lover. But for those who just go to basket balling quite rarely (like us), or have given up playgrounds, it’s the perfect companion. Just take three well pumped balls and put them into the frame; you have your very comfortable outdoor chair.

Schwartz adds his “3pts” chair was created to be used both indoor and outdoor, and “perfect for any kind of house party.” It’s actually a good example of reused design. The only problem comes with the balls, when they start deflating.
