These Chairs Were Made with Washing Machine Parts

You’d never think of a washing machine to be a part of your living room décor. I mean, could you imagine offering your guests a seat on your washer to watch the latest game? Me either…well, not until now.

Industrial designer Antonina who goes by the username gtonya on Instructables decided to use an old washer to pull off making a chair. But, it’s not just one chair she makes…she pulls off making three beautiful chairs from one old washing machine.

Antonina gives a glimpse of her thought process behind her chairs:

Have you ever wondered what hides under the shell of your washing machine?
A kit of the finest raw materials offering a variety of possibilities for creation and innovative design.

Every year some 60,000,000 washing machines are sold around the world, each is a kit of raw materials that serves as the heart of this project. It is a globally accessible raw material -- why not use it then?

She even ever so kindly included the DIY plans so you can rig up some beautiful washing machine chairs yourself.

For now, check out her artsy video as she disassembles a washing machine.
