Zombie Robot Chair Reassembles Itself

by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 10. 1.07

Design & Architecture (chairs)

Flatpack is so two weeks ago; now we have robotic chairs that assemble themselves. This one, by Canadian artist Max Dean and robotics expert Raffaello D’Andrea, also reconstructs itself after being smashed to pieces, which is particularly handy if you throw chairs around the house. According to Cornell University this was a hit on the internets a year ago but we missed it, and apologise to those who are seeing it again. ::BoingBoing Gadgets and ::Cornell
