Conversation Piece: Secure with Style

Adding a touch of functionality to fashionable design.

Now you can buckle up for safety even when you’re sitting down for breakfast with this Seatbelt Chair, which takes repurposed furniture to a whole new level. It’s handmade using scrap material and cotton seatbelts in a crisscross pattern to give it contrast and texture. A seating group of this unique (and surprisingly comfortable) chair, available in several colors, will add personality to your dining room or eat-in kitchen.
