For years I've had an obsession with this chair. It's followed me for years. I've started calling it the Mexican street chair, on of account of having seen it a number of times on the streets of Mexico. I spotted it multiple times in Oaxaca City and then once in Mexico City. I even saw it in Nogales, Sonora once. I later found out that it's the pool side chair at the famous Thunderbird hotel in Marfa, Texas. It's made of a simple iron frame, just a few pieces welded together, and a bunch of string. I've seen a thin rope used or even that plastic lanyard stuff used in making boondoggles. I really appreciate the simplicity. The only picture I can find of it is on the Thunderbird website.
