At at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena designed a strap for furniture brand Vitra, the strap can be wrapped around the body and used instead of a chair. Good idea! "Chairless is a simple tool for sitting – a textile strap joined into a loop, measuring 85 cm in length and 5 cm in width, which can be wrapped around the back and knees in order to stabilise the body and relieve tension, while in a seated position. Chairless is mobile. Weighing less than 85 grams, the strap can be folded into a compact size allowing it to fit easily into a pocket – the ideal sitting aid while out and about." |
