I’m not sure how you justify using 110 pieces of plywood to make a single-seat piece of furniture, but I guess design is subjective. Emma Selzer of Australia’s Plus Architecture has designed the Egg Chair, a pod-like chair and integrated table that pivots on its center, for a local business center.

The Egg Chair’s laser-cut sheets are glued and screwed, meaning this thing ain’t coming apart at recycling time; then again I think sustainability is not exactly the point here.
