When fairytale meets furniture this is the result. Created by Anna Ter Haar. This series of chairs has been designed so that each individual chair has it's own personalised, to fit, glass leg. The first time I seen this I honestly thought "Why has someone given a chair a glass leg?". It understandably is a question you would ask yourself considering glass is a very fragile and easily broken material; which I truely didn't ever think would be combined with an everyday, hard wearing object.
Each glass support is custom made to fit a specific chair, much in the same way a prosthetic leg would be made to fit a human. The name has been given for obvious reasons but rather than wear a single glass slipper like Cinder's, the chair wears a blown glass prosthesis.
Despite, how the chair may look or you may think (like I did) the new legs are strong enough to carry weight, so the chairs are by no means strictly ornamental.
