Honey Pop


Honeycomb structured paper chair
© Nacàsa & PartnersDon't let the cat near this one, and keep your clumsy friend away too... the one who always spills his drink... you know who I mean.

This chair is made of paper. Yup. The Honey Pop chair designed by Tokujin Yoshioka is created from a two dimensional build up of 120 pieces of glassine paper which are glued together and precisely cut. The structure is then "opened" forming a strong three dimensional honeycomb structure. The chair is custom molded by the shape of the person who sits on it and comes in three sizes, large, medium and child. Plus it makes a crunching sound when you sit on it... and that's just cool.

Honey Pop chairs are in the permanent collections of the Pompidou Centre, the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Vitra Design Museum.

Hi, I am a student of the faculty of Architecture, (Industrial Design), of Palermo.
I wrote for asking you if it were possibility to receive some information regarding her: Honey pop chair, particularly way interested me to know the process of production, the technological experimentations and as the special paper it is gotten pressed with alveolar effect to the goals to deepen a search that I am preparing for an examination in this session, that foresees the search of new materials and innovative techniques. Since the experimentation of the chair has fascinated me, I am penetrated in this search to the goals to draw and to understand further possible information.
I confide in his/her help and I take advantage for making her compliments.
thanks for your attention!.
Yours Sincerely!
