The conceptual 'Nebula' chair has been designed by Lorenzo Spanu as a shapeshifting seating solution perfect for offering an elegant albeit somewhat foreign spot to sit. The chair is constructed with a metal frame accented by three rotating support portions, which can be shifted to form one of three configurations or put it into storage mode. The chair accommodates the curves on the human body to offer impressive support for both the back and posterior.
The conceptual 'Nebula' chair has a series of buttons to allow for quickly orienting it into position, while also keeping it locked when not in use. The flatpack design of the chair means it can be easily shifted into storage mode to maximize efficiency.
