Upcycled Sofa

We're all for upcycling, but sometimes it's taken a little bit too far. Case in point: the Blow Soda by MALAFOR, which is made out of recycled paper dunnage bags, or airbags used in shipping. The sofa is easy enough to assemble--just inflate it and hold it in place with a metal rack and recycled rubber straps. And we can see how it might be useful at a concert or other event where sitting on the grass is the main option. But come on--it's a bit of a stretch to even call this a sofa. It's more like an upcycled Crazy Creek chair.
