  um why do tennis balls go flat

• Florida Tennis News » Blog Archive » Another use for tennis balls October 4, 2007 at 10:50 am

  [...] You may have thoughts tennis balls were just for tennis - but creative Dutch designer Tejo Remy has found a another use for the balls. The same material qualities that make tennis balls bright, bouncy and easy-to-spot make for seating that is comfortable, sturdy, and extremely eye-catching. While many museum goers observe works of art perched upon the usual wooden bench, visitors at Rotterdam’s Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen are able to sit and stare in style on these colorful and clever tennis ball benches. The seats are fashioned from a steel frame and dozens of tennis balls, to bring a bit of color and bounce to the museum’s interior…read article… [...]

  charles furniture from ireland did something like this a couple of years ago. it cements my feeling that in design an idea is worth nothing but when one is a high profile designer like tejo hob knobing among the clique within dutch design this is deemed ingenious

  [...] Dutch designer Tejo Remy must have decided to give up tennis and sit around all day instead, so he took all the tennis balls he could find and turned them into these benches, selling the idea to the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. It’s a prime example of what relaxed dope laws will do for the enlightenment of a culture. Come to think of it, tennis balls are fuzzy and cushy, so if you mount them to a steel frame like Tejo did here, these might just turn out to be comfy seats. Don’t try this with baseballs.

  It is possible that they used used balls and then washed them- then, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between new and used. I don't even play that much tennis but it is true that you go through balls like nobody's business and the only reuse that I know of is giving them to dogs- but how many balls can you really give a dog?? So using them for some other purpose where you could take advantage of their springyness is a great idea.

  yes i am in agreement with androo and tyler. tennis centers could be wonderful resources for supplying used balls to designers but wouldnt it also be great to motivate individuals who play on public courts to also bring their used balls there?

  yes. pls use discarded flat tennis balls for our next bench! =)

  Tyler July 5, 2007 at 1:19 pm

  If anybody plays tennis, you know how quickly tennis balls go flat. I can't even imagine the number of used tennis balls I have tossed in the trash in my lifetime. If the designer can team up with tennis centers to use their discarded balls (they could be washed), this project would have a much better impact. Also, I'd like to see a couch with some sort of back support, that would be nifty.

  I really do like it, but I think it's a bit disingenuous to call repurposing of this nature ecologically friendly (if, indeed, he does), since these are very obviously not post-consumer tennis balls, they're just being diverted from one open loop waste stream to another equivalent one. If there's a little flex in that frame, though, I bet it would be pretty comfortable.

  Very different and unusual. A nice touch for an art museum, but could be fun elsewhere as well.
