During my Master's program I built six very different chairs where each one has its own shape and special material on the surface. On this one I thought it would be interesting to use old jigsaw puzzle pieces as a surface because it reminded me of my childhood when my older brother and I collected puzzles.

 

So I went to a secondhand shop and found nine boxes of puzzles and then mixed them all up in a plastic bag.

 

I was lucky to find a shell from an old chair and already had some legs I could attach to the body, and after attaching the three legs I sanded the chair with sharp edges so the puzzle pieces would connect nicely to each other 

 

When the whole body was finished I glued all the puzzle pieces by using a glue gun and ended up using between 2000 and 3000 pieces.
