The Happy Misfits

About This Project

The Happy Misfits were inspired by bodybuilders’ ability to shape their body. Rutger de Regt developed a flexible moulding system using a balloon and polystyrene pearls. Applying restrictions to the mass enables him to sculpt and form each Happy Misfit individually as a unique handmade object.

The Happy Misfits Armchair is part of Vitra Design Museum.
