Chair + Playground = Chairground

A playful chair you can sit on in multiple ways. Designed to invite you to explore and be creative.



There’s no right or wrong way to sit. Do what you like.


The organic and curvy shape allows for a comfortable rocking motion on both sides of the chair.



How is it made?


It started off with 1:5 models prototyped with aluminum wire and air clay.


Evolving to a full scale prototype model to gauge the correct size for a person to sit on.


Next, I bent and welded the metal frame.


And finally started to add the cushiony cover to make it comfortable to sit on.


And explored how to create a very organic, soft and inviting final form using armaflex and neoprene foam, and finally a coat of plastidip paint and plastidip spray to seal it all together.



Happy customers (:
