The flexible love paper seat
A student from Taiwan invented this paper seat called ‘Flexible Love’.
This seat can expanded to a bench for 16 people and is impressively flexible. It has been produced from widely-available and low-cost recycled materials. The impact on the environment by the production of such a seat is incredibly low. Watch the video below to see how flexible this bench is:

We have one here in the Hub and I must say it was a bit of a downer: when it arrived it didn’t want to fold out. We tried to stretch it out tying it with a rope and putting a stick in between overnight. It did stretch out a bit, but not as much as it promised. We ordered the one for 8 people, now after all this hussle it still only sits 4 people.
And guess what, now it doesn’t fold anymore…
Also after sitting on it only twice it already showed traces and now after we had it for 4 weeks it looks really shabby.
Great concept, but definitely still a way to go in the production!

The way it bends and folds on the website looks amazing, I wondered how they combine this flexibility with the rigidity it needs to be sat on without leaning to the side and collapsing. I did have the impression that the surface is probably too hard to be really comfortable … seems to be more of a concept prototype than usable furniture …

Our company, H&W Trading, sales this product in the Northern America market. I would like to provide some tip/info regarding the chair. We have always recommended our customers to fully stretch the chair a few times to loose up the paper. That would give you more pleasant experience since the paper is compacted out of production. Regarding the trace mark on surface after sitting on it, the mark evens out on the chair over time. In addition, many customers would decorate with fabric or pillow. For more information, you may contact us at http://www.haoweitrading.com.

Nonetheless, for most people stretch marks will remain, simply due to the fact surgery just isn’t a realistic option unless it is really essential. However, there are a lot of stretch mark remedies which have proved successful in decreasing the appearance of stretch marks, even to the point where the stretch mark is only visible under close scrutiny.

Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appeal. I must say that you’ve done a excellent job with this. Also, the blog loads very fast for me on Firefox. Exceptional Blog!

I have looked at eco-friendly alternatives, so far I have installed solar panels on my home but while looking for a electric car I find the cost doesnt justify it for me. While I am passionate about making green choices whenever possible it is up to people like you and I to spread awareness and let the companies know there is a demand. Your website looks popular and I think you can help influence society with your insight and eco tips. by the way I found your site by searching The flexible love paper seat | Ideaplants and you were the first result. So I think your website is a good platform to discuss ideas that are thought provoking and influence your readers to go green. – Good luck with your site, you deserve it! Please continue to talk about more eco-tips, every idea helps us get closer day by day!

Great site here. So many websites like yours cover subjects that can’t be found in magazines and newspapers. I don’t know how we got on 15 years ago with just newspapers and magazines.
