The 'Tamable' Chair Would Conform to the Body Perfectly

— January 24, 2021 — Art & Design
Styrofoam is usually reserved for the packaging industry, but the 'Tamable' chair identifies its ability to be used in a different way to help enhance comfort when it comes to furniture. The chair is manufactured by expandable polystyrene (EPS) that has been processed using a CNC machine in order to create its unexpected finish that looks like a radiator at first glance. The chair will thus change in shape immediately upon sitting and over time in order to make it a truly personalized option for consumers.

The 'Tamable' chair is the design work of Seoul-based designer Donghwan Song in collaboration with the Fountain Studio and could deliver impressive comfort for those who spend extended periods at a desk.
