The Robo Chair is a stackable seat made of recycled P.E.T. acrylic felt, metal and plywood. It is easy to assemble and disassemble and was inspired by the Bjork video for the song 'All is Full of Love.'
The idea of a robot becoming a living being excited the designers and so they applied this principle to the Robo Chair. Emphasizing the limbs of the seat in a sleek, robotic fashion, the Robo Chair is able to maintain a balance between modernity and the environment.
