THE CHAIR USING SUSPENSION STRUCTURE

THE CHAIR USING SUSPENSION STRUCTURE by yasuaki from japan

designer's own words:

I designed this chair because I wanted to make a hammock I can carry around and use wherever I want to.
In order to launch this project, I came up with a copious amount of structural model that can achieve the simple and easy assembling and comfort at the same time.
I believe this unique structure and seating experience that appeals to all the senses will take the furniture design one step forward.
If I were given a chance to make a mock-up, I will review the details of joint part for even easier assembling, and seek to make the weight as light as possible by making the pipe with alternative material such as carbon.
I want to astonish the people all around the world with LEXUS DESIGN AWARD.

This is a chair with a groundbreaking concept that is different in every way from a conventional style, which is made possible by the unique structure made with a single elastic material stretched out by 4 pipes.
