Self-Sustainable Chair.

Posted by Miss Cellania in Arts & Crafts, Everything Else, Fashion on August 7, 2007 at 9:26 am


Self-Sustainable Chair, a dress made out of polyethylene, connected to shoes that pump air into an inflatable bubble attached to its rear part on each step. The dress slowly transforms into a chair with each step and holds the person to sit on it naturally. With his or her body weight the chair is slowly deflated and forms back to the original flat dress. Self-Sustainable chair is a conceptual garment that motivates users to consistently switch between walking and sitting as a loop behavior on the street. The balance between exercise and rest would be maintained by wearing this suit. The purpose of this project is to transform the humdrum experiences produced by routine walking commutes into an amusing interactive performance.

It’s an art project by Joo Youn. Push play or go to Google Video. Link to project. -via Arbroath

    I thought immediately when I read "Self-Sustainable Chair" that it would eat people to sustain itself. Lack of sleep plays many a trick on the mind. ;)

    Oh yeah, that's a concept that's SURE to catch on.

    There's such a world wide crisis of people collapsing from exhaustion because there weren't sufficiently motivated to sit down.

    Remember when art actually involved skill and aesthetics?

    wow...that is one piece of art that is neither clever, thought-provoking or interesting in any way. Usually, when I browse through Neatorama I am wasting time. But that was 1 minute I am actually angry for missing.
