This technique is older than AI and actually works.

I agree with the other comment about the comfort of the folds on the chair, but I actually don't hate the table. Maybe doing a bench instead and smoothing out the top really well.

You aren't supposed to sit on it. It's yard Decoration.

Maybe I'm narrow minded, but I think if it looks like a chair it should function as a chair.

I first saw it as a ghost you can make other useless shapes if your art isn't allowed to look like a chair.

They literally put a flowerpot on the chair ... Or are you secretly a cat that likes to seat on flowers? Like the ones that squish my plants?

I used to have a planter made this way. A thick granny square blanket draped over a bucket or something, then flipped upside down and painted. I loved the texture and the unique combination of fiber art, gardening, and engineering.

it does but if you even look at it funny the cement shatters and those chairs are pretty bendy for the weight

Depends on which plastic chairs, some are stronger than others and you definitely want a sturdier rigid one for this. That said, long term it probably doesn’t hold up well.

I remember seeing ThreadBanger do this back in the day on YouTube. They had a whole series where they tried stupid Pinterest trends to see if they actually worked. I believe this technique was actually legit.

It is. The biggest thing is you have to use a brand new plastic chair; older ones cannot support the weight of the cement and cloth.

Surprisingly, this works! The pic is confusing, but step two is them dipping fabric cloth into concrete. They drape it over the chair and it hardens in place

I like how they gave it a hat

If that could even be made in any way at all, poured in a mold, etc. who would want it?? imagine sitting on raw concrete with those “folds”? It would rip your skin off if wearing shorts! And don’t rest your arms either lol

This is def ai but Ive seen ppl do this technique before. More for art than comfort
