Awesome Recliner Chair Mounted on the Side of a Cliff

Well look who dropped in! Wonderful to see you as always. Fill your mug and snag a virtual treat or two then climb on over to the table here and pull up a comfortable chair... though it's not quite as comfy as the one Dallin Smith has designed...nor is the view quite as stunning as the one in the picture. 

Take a seat and let your eyes feast upon the stunning views unfolding underneath your dangling feet. Designer extraordinaire Dallin Smith from Provo, Utah, made a rope chair and attached it hundreds of feet above ground on a steep rocky cliff at Rock Canyon, offering rock-climbers a new reason to tackle the challenging rock face.

Dallin says his chair wasn’t designed to hang off of cliffs, but as a comfortable lounge chair. “I was trying to figure out how to put it to use and I was originally planning on a type of furniture to place in the living room,” the industrial designer who is also an avid climber says. “The chair was a design project I have been working on as I had an excess amount of retired climbing rope lying around.” 

When the project was complete, it occurred to him that the chair’s place might not be in a home. “However the more renditions I made, the more it made sense to place something outside,” the man states.

So who took that picture, I want to know? And... who's going to get you your next beverage, eh? Oh sure, it looks specky but come on. Suppose you nod off and wake up suddenly with an urge to go toidy and just bound out of the chair? 

See ya, eh!
