meltdown chairs - tom price

Tom Price has created a new way to sit when designing his newest series named Meltdown Chairs. He uses the same technique of heating and pressing a seat-shaped former into a ball, using different materials for each chair including polypropylene rope, PVC hose, and a stack of common plumbing tubes. All the materials begin to melt when in contact with the heated former, and when cooled a seat is made. All the chairs use no additional material and come just from the rope, hose, or plumbing tubes. Who knew something so simplistic would turn out looking so neat.

Lately there have been some very interesting products for the home improvement segment and the NewUltraBloom Heat-Reactive Tiles by UltraGlass are no different. These new tiles use a special heat-reactive coating to allow the tiles to change into a variety of colors depending on the temperature, eventually cooling off and returning to their original color. These new tiles come in a wide variety of colors and textures to fit any design. Currently pricing is unknown.
