Injection-molded polyethylene emerges as something wholly natural and fluid in Tokujin Yoshioka’s Tokyo-Pop Collection (2002).

Described by the U.K. Times as a surprisingly comfortable “molded, rigid reclining device,” the Tokyo-Pop Lounge allows the user to lay back, while remaining upright enough to partake in the conversation. Initially fabricated out of pliable honeycomb paper,the prototype was then shaped on the basis of the imprint left by a body while settling into it. The polyethylene used to mold the collection is 100% recyclable. more featured furniture

Follow up question:
What is a reasonable price per foot to pay for a new modern home, and does that number include the property?
As a builder and designer of “modern homes” I am looking for clarification of the term “affordable” and/or “reasonably” priced modern homes.
When speaking of affordable/reasonably priced modern home are you referring to:
a.) the cost per foot of a new home?
or
b.) the overall cost to acquire the home?
add your comments…..
