Vehicle Brand Gaming Chairs

This Volkswagen Gaming Chair Features a Built-in Electric Motor

— November 10, 2022 — Art & Design
This Volkswagen gaming chair has been designed by the brand's division in Norway as an unexpectedly enhanced piece of furniture for the modern gaming lair. The chair is designed with a vehicle seat form that is accented by a seatbelt and even has a built-in motor to let the operator shift around a space. An entertainment system within will provide access to music, while the rear-view camera and 360-degree proximity sensors round out the furniture piece as a true vehicle-inspired piece of furniture.

The Volkswagen gaming chair is finished with the brand's logo embroidered onto the headrest to make it instantly recognizable from afar. The chair is not available for purchase, but will be available for customers to try out at dealerships in the near-future.
