Luminous Anatomy Loungers

Sam Buxton's Clone Chaise Glows When the User is Present

— April 21, 2011 — Art & Design
If you're looking to up the sci-fi factor in your home or office, the Clone Chaise is exactly what you have been waiting for. This luminous lounger takes on the anatomical form of a human being.

Created by British designer Sam Buxton, the Clone Chaise essentially interacts with the potential user. It activates as soon as it senses that a person is near. According to Book of Joe, "The electroluminescent display lights up, and as a user interacts with the chaise lounge, its digital heart and lungs begin to beat and breathe, as if bringing the chair to life."

A stunningly unique piece of furniture, only six Clone Chaise lounges were created. They are made out of acrylic, steel and sequencing electronics.
Trend Themes
1. Luminous Furniture - Innovative designers can create home or office furniture that incorporate electroluminescent displays for interactive and visually stunning experiences.
2. Interactive Home Decor - Technological advancements allow for home decor items, such as the Clone Chaise, to be designed with sensors and artificial intelligence for a futuristic feel.
3. Living, Breathing Furniture - Artificial intelligence breathing furniture can be designed to make the user feel like they are interacting with a living, breathing organism as they sit and relax.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - The interior design industry can benefit from creating modern and interactive furniture pieces that embody the futuristic aesthetic.
2. Technology - Developments in technology can be applied to furniture design to create sensory and interactive experiences within the home or office.
3. Artificial Intelligence - The furniture industry can explore the use of artificial intelligence to create furniture that interacts and adapts to its environment and user.
