The shape of this Sound Chair might look little strange to some people. You’ll be wondering how could the designer of Sound/Chair come out with such a shape.
Since the name of this product is related to sound, it must be inspired by it too. Yes, the Sound/Chair has been precisely engineered from a 3D waveform plot of a short audio clip.
Since the name of this product is related to sound, it must be inspired by it too. Yes, the Sound/Chair has been precisely engineered from a 3D waveform plot of a short audio clip.
Designer Matthew Plummer-Fernandez started the design of this chair, by having a 3D plot of a short audio clip, based on the volume, time and frequency etc.
He then fed the 3D plot into a computer-controlled water-jet cutter, which led his way into cutting out this strange-shaped chair from a block of Polyethelene foam.
Plummer-Fernandez had even tried 719 different sounds before he managed to settle down with one that was suitable for a comfy chair with proper arm-rests. This Sound/Chair is made with limited quantities, which is now available at Selfridges UK for a whopping price tag of £3950 or about $7015 USD.
