Acapulco beach, early in the morning
I love getting up early, always when I am near a tropical beach. Feeling the coolness of the sand underneath my feet, enjoy the cool breeze and the quiet of the morning. Nothing but the roar of the pacific surf and some chirping birds.
This chair caught my attention as it looks particularly rough and ugly. Looking at it more closely though, I felt deeply humbled by the attention its owners had given to it.
In our society no one would care fixing a broken mono bloc chair. They are too cheap for being worth spending any time on a repair. They will simply be added to the huge pile of garbage we are leaving to our next generations.
Not here, in Mexico. The owners of that beach shack did obviously care and the chair will last for many more years thanks to the sturdy reinforcement of scrap wood and rusty nut and bolts.
Not a beauty, but a beautiful example of how sustainability works.
