More amazing and creative uses for cable ties!

The astounding creativity of some people never ceases to amaze me. Who knew there were so many unique uses for cable ties? I’ll admit I was impressed with the cable tie dress and wall art , but you won’t believe some of the phenomenal creations that I’ve stumbled upon this time.

Nicknamed the Sea-Urchin Chair, this striking piece of furniture is not your typical living room chair. Given its name for obvious reasons, it was designed and constructed by Oooms Studio and Dutch designer Rachel van Outvorst, who utilized more than 8,000 black cable ties to hand-make this extraordinary work of art. I’m not sure how comfortable it actually is—but it looks absolutely incredible!

Think that was remarkable? Check this out!

Made of more than 20,000 meticulously arranged white cable ties, this life-size bear was created by Design Office Takebayashi Scroggin. Named the Zip Tie Massimal, this stunning creation is part of a larger project of animal abstractions, all built out of a singular material, that are intended to examine how physical form can engage the public realm.

Now I don’t know much about that. But I do know that this has to be the most spectacular use of cable ties I’ve ever seen. I wish I could see it in person!
