The Strap-On Chair, created by Cambridge, Massachusetts born and raised designer Annika Schmidt, is proudly taking on the established preconceptions of what a chair should look like. The chair is one of a progressive series of designs, and like its name suggests it is only fully functional when it is strapped onto another person.
Born into a family of artist's Schmidt (who has maternal links to Sweden) is keeping up with the family traditions with this white wood legless chair - with very comfortable seating for one, it will be interesting to see how comfortable it is for the one the chair is strapped onto.
Made in the USA the Strap-On chair may be a hit for many reasons that would be in addition to the ones that of a functional chair.
