Designer Muddycap has created the Low Battery Chair as a design that reflects just as its namesake suggests. The low-battery icon on the phone is one of the most frustrating motifs and it is transformed into a furniture piece. The visual of the battery level itself acts as the cushion.
There are notably two versions of the chair: a yellow and red one. Each one unveils a critical moment to charge a phone. Both of these chairs are at different heights, which is connected to the battery level as well. The framing is high and circular, wrapping around the seat -- it is complete in a black tone on both versions of the chair, both red and yellow.
