The Torso Magnetic Chair Seats Provide Suspension for Sitters

— December 6, 2016 — Art & Design
Switching up perceptions of what's possible when it comes to seating solutions, the Torso Magnetic Chair seats are designed to help provide a levitating aesthetic to be enjoyed both physically and visually.

The Torso Magnetic Chair is the design work of Kim Minjae and features a seat that is made from a fiberglass concrete blend and a wooden base. Hidden within the bottom and top layers of the seat and base respectively are magnetic components that enable the seat section to float above the base without requiring support in order to accommodate a sitter.
