Cape Town designers Animal Farm have produced an "organic lounger" made from woven branches that hangs in a tree and is reached by a rope ladder.
The structure, based on a weaver bird's next, consists of a welded steel frame covered in woven branches.
Suspended three metres above the ground, the nest can hold two adults and a small child.
The designer, Porky Hefer, is currently producing a second, larger nest which can carry four adults.
See our earlier story about Lite by Animal Farm.
Great, but it looks a bit too much like a skull…. weird.
i can imagine this being one of the most tranquil places to sit in the entire world
thumbs up
Fuck thats cool.
i can picture a group of these working really well in a game reserve… near a waterhole….
looks abit like a lego helmet to me…
in regards to the reader’s reponses….when will ‘acceptance by association’ die?
rocks!
I would love to lounge in this thing. And for some reason it reminds me of a gas mask.
Love the idea. The experience of sitting in this must be amazingly reflective. The shape could use some work; looks like a motorcycle helmet.
the metal frame is a little disappointing…
Amit… just to remind you… this thing is holding up more that a sparrow and it’s 4 babies!
Think it is a beautiful object myself, even if others think it a shame that it isn’t more than that and go all the way to not include a frame and defy the laws of gravity!
Well done.
hey, it s just the same nest as the Marsupilami's . Same concept !
The designer’s name is “Porky Hefer”?! F**in’ hilarious.
