The 'bOne' Chair is a creative seat inspired by the human body and designed by Björn Ischi. Ischi's chair features large holes that can be filled with soft upholstery. The chair itself is meant to mimic the human skeletal system, while the upholstery filling doubles as skin cells.
The bOne Chair is designed for those who like to play with their furniture. The product is made out of a single sheet of either metal or wood. Even the upholstery cubes can be customized, with different colors available should you feel that green is unbecoming. Customizable and multifunctional furniture designs are primed to become the norm rather than the exceptions in the near future. Traditional furniture designs are just too tame and don't allow expression the way that furniture like the bOne Chair does.
