The Amazing Extendible Chair
I like this chair–the oddly named Flexible Love; by Taiwanese designer Chishen Chiu; a kind of giant Slinky. Reminds me of the Extendible Bench by Designer and Architect Charles Kaisin.
FlexibleLove™ experimental furniture incorporates an ‘accordion-like, honeycomb’ structure to create durable furniture pieces produced from widely-available, low-cost recycled materials. FlexibleLove™ furniture pieces, such as FlexibleLove 16, are made wholly from recycled paper and wood products, and are produced using pre-existing manufacturing processes in order to reduce their overall impact on the environment.

I see many in the video had the same question I had, can it really hold a person?? I guess so! Now my next question: is it comfortable?
You always find the most interesting things to share with us, Johno! Keep it up

Thank you, Lauren
I must admit that I’d feel a little nervous sitting on this; half-expecting it to expand or contract and leave me sandwiched or flailing on the floor.

Intriguing stuff, John!
I had to watch both videos. This would’ve come in handy at a recent party I had. Lots of people, not enough seats, although I’d also be worried about the sandwich effect.

Do you still get comments over here John? Poor Redsil… it will always be known as the start of the greatness of iLT. I had to share this with you though: the amazing chair. Scroll down to about the bottom of the page to see it animating. Pretty cool!
