Foam Chair that Helps the Knees

by Lotus

The armchair below is made of foam, and becomes an armchair when someone sits down on it. The wonderful design is created by a Taiwanese designer named Yu-Ying Wu who is a graduate from the department of Industrial Design at the Tatung University based in Taiwan.

The chair is inspired by plant cells and looks similar to a big block of tofu or Swiss cheese. Wu explained that she has problems with her knees and wanted to design a chair that can take some pressure off her knees when she sits down. Please see here for more information on this unique design.
