Inspired by the swing, this chair could respond to the user's body movements and create a dynamic interaction with the users. Similar to a swing, it is for users to relax and play. The seat and backrest are flexible and adjustable in a way that they are able to follow users' preferred sitting positions and their movements while sitting. The chair also has a minimal structure: the seat and backrest are supported by a simple wood frame (61x61x61cm), allowing the seat to float and the chair to be lightweight.
Jessica Guo is a multidisciplinary designer and artist based in Brooklyn (NY). She is interested in working in the intersection of interior design, visual design, and experience design. Most of her artworks explore memory and fleeting emotions and reflect a dreamlike world of her own. In everyday life, she enjoys collecting and documenting objects of (often seen) mediocrity and triviality and seeing them as inspirations for her works. She is also an award-winning amateur photographer with works published on numerous international sites including Bazaar, Hypebeast, USA today, and Vogue Italia.
This chair is made in Copenhagen with the support of the Danish Institute (study abroad program). The chair aims to express the artist’s unique and personal design language while following the principles and aesthetics of Scandinavian furniture design.
