Explore This Amazing WorkPlit Side Chair
The typical seat is imagined as a static entity, designed to support the body in a linear fashion. Plit chair proposes a novel way to support the dynamically shifting body weight and changing postures of the user. The seating surface is split on the vertical axis to create two sides that react to the user weight independently as they re-adjust their pose. Instead of dictating an ideal posture, Plit chair conforms and warps. The continuous flowing curves, flexible materials, and the prominent abstract rift in the center communicate an impression of fluidity, independence, and leniency.
