The Greatest Lawn Chair of All Time Is Actually Made of Grass

Part recliner, part land art, the Terra! is your very own backyard throne. Here’s how it works: The seat’s cardboard skeleton is delivered flat, by mail, for owners themselves to build. Pick a plot of land where the soil is level, and erect the infrastructure of jigsaw-like corrugated pieces.

Fill the center with rocks or clay for stability; you’ll need about 50 gallons of nonporous material. Then it’s time for the organic upholstery: roughly 90 gallons of sandy soil packed around the frame until it resembles a recliner. (Moisten the soil a bit if it won’t settle into the shape you want.) Scatter grass seed over the surface. Water daily, and within a week and a half, shoots should appear. Terra! will be ready for lounging in about two months—just a couple of weeks longer than it takes a Chia Pet to grow.
