Hah! I love it - very cute. Ridiculously impractical (to the point of the “problem” they could just have simple folding chairs with wheels on the bottom available at libraries - no wasteful electricity), but very clever. The thought of automatically assembling the numerous chairs at once was pretty interesting…

…in the middle of the night… those seats cry from the lack of human touch. in time, they will become jealous and rebel(along with neglected iPods)… thanks Design Academy Eindhoven(and Apple) for designing the doom of us all.

Seems completely impracticable. Why should seats find you, when it’s never very hard to find seats in a library? Also this demonstrates a highly idealised vision of how it would work - there are practically no other people in the library than the one chair user shown.

Its pretty cute, but does it die like pleo if abused? Cause these days, what is a robot if it can’t make us sad about the things we do to it.

@Jon
That’s what I thought as well about the number of people around. However, if ever built with a smart avoidance system I’m sure it would avoid hitting people.

@ Jon….on the contrary…i was just in the library last week and had to leave because there was no seating, and our library is four stories high. I do have to agree, tho, quite impractical, but cute idea.

@Jon, that struck me, too, but to do a stop-motion demo they probably filmed when the library was closed. They ARE cute! Still, how lazy do you have to be to need this?

This is awesome! The only sad part was nobody seemed to care about that guys lecture, cept maybe the seats themselves! D:

You’ll see at around 1:07 in the right hand corner of the screen you’ll see the actors head when he makes the chair “lift up”.

These would probably only work in larger libraries where the aisles would be big enough to accommodate random sitters, otherwise they’d be a hindrance. they’re cute as heck, though.

this could be a lot of fun to prank someone who didn’t know of their exisitence . . .
