Mobile Design: The Cube Chair
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 03.21.07
We love mobile design, furniture that moves and adapts. This chair uses rock band roadie industrial case hardware to pack into a solid, easy to move cube, which is actually a fabulous idea, if a bit pricey in this iteration. Wood, aluminium, leather, Perfect for students and people on the move, and only 3,900 Swiss Francs, or US $ 5,192 at ::Heinz Julien.
For those who are handy and want to try to build this themselves, you can get all the parts you need at ::TCH Sales, purveyors of fine case hardware for rock bands everywhere, and ancestor of ::Umbra
5,000 ? Perfect for students ? This is an art piece showcasing a possibility not a viable product.
Sorry, but my first thought when I saw that was "Electric Chair, WTF?"
