Springy chair
Last week Industrial Design Engineering student Niels Vrijlandt won the Assistant-SEE-innovation prize for his Micor Gravity chair. ,,I designed a feeling,” he says. In 2003 his “feeling” will be on the market in the form of a chair that subtly moves with a person’s every movement, including clicking a mouse. A cure for RSI? Vrijlandt’s chair, which counterbalances a person’s body weight with springs, will cost between 450 and 900 Euro. Vrijlandt received 2,500 Euro in prize money for his floating chair.
