The conceptual 'Seed Chair' has been designed by Povilas Grigas as a future-facing furniture piece imagined for the Google offices to provide decidedly low-tech spot to sit and think.
The chair is constructed with a series of tubular pieces that are decidedly simple and connect together through simple yet durable joinery. The seat takes things in the opposite direction when compared to the vast rise of the tech world; the materials and silhouette chosen go back in time to a period when furniture was decidedly pared down.
The conceptual 'Seed Chair' imagines what we could see within the evolution of the tech industry as companies evolve, but also somehow devolve as something of a return back to nature.
