I left the EURO Zone behind and... got creative.

Gerrit Rietveld built many amazing chairs in his lifetime. Google ‘rietveld chair’ and you’ll see his red and blue chair.

Google ‘rietveld crate chair’ and you’ll see several that are worth more EUROs than I usually have on me during a really good year.

However, using rescued pine and cedar, I have constructed my own versions of crate chairs in the past and am now assembling all the necessary lumber to build eight more. (I call them the Harrison Lizard Chair because they are a mottled colour and I lounge around in them).

So, if you want the most comfortable chair in the world and don’t have 1,000s of EUROs handy, try building your own crate chair.

If I can do it, you can too.
