Sink into the “Breathing Chair,” designed by Yu-Wing Wu.
There is a “trick” behind the design of various sizes of holes in the chair – based on professional calculation of the spatial structure, the tofu-shaped chair, coated with three layers of foamed plastic, can “automatically adjust” according to the weight and posture of the person sitting on it.
The Music Chocolate, designed by Michi Jjung, is an ottman that features a connection for an MP3 player and an integrated sound system, built-in speakers and all. Gizmodo puts it most approproately: it “massages your feet with beats.” There’s even a Chaiselong version for those who’d rather recline. Check it out in the gallery below.
This concept table is created by Agnieszka Lasota. In his own words…
My furniture are vehicles of time, with the aid of technology they allow a journey into the past. Elements of old furniture found at random I treat as museum artifacts — I place them carefully into a glass showcase. Instead of restoring I secure them in their present state. I show them as they are now, bringing back to life their original function in a new form. Sometimes, with electric polarization, I change the glass into a frosted one, hiding contents. I use the slide of the piece in its best time. Then the projection of the picture from the past becomes sharp and readable. The furniture shines again in old glory.
