British designer Jan Waterston designed the Velo Chair,a modern wooden chair that is a response to modern bicycles and how they appear to wrap around the user . Jan mentions, “The bicycle is an object in which the user can feel a seamless relationship to and subsequently the road. This relationship between body and object is echoed in bicycle design with tubes flowing seamlessly into one another, constantly changing shape, to improve function and aesthetic.” The wood chair has a backrest that pushes the limits of what can be achieved with bent wood design, and the almost seamless joins lock all of the pieces together. Take a look at more images below.
