This Cooling Ribs sofa for one is inspired by a computer’s cooling ribs and was created by Design-Gezunt Studio. The circular chair (because, let’s face it, a sofa for one = chair) looks like a futuristic reading pod.
The Cooling Ribs sofa for one was built in layers of aluminum, pounded industrial plastic material boards, and foam for back support. We’re sure the Cooling Ribs chairs will make an impact wherever they are placed, but may not immediately invite sitting.
