The 'Mantis' chair has been designed by Troy Smith as a seating solution that highlights an insect-like form to convey a creature like design that's also highly functional.
The chair is achieved with a series of durable materials including wood and metal, and has a segmented design for legs and arms. This aesthetic drives home an insect-like form that will call to mind the legs of a praying mantis. This also gives the seat an almost robotic form that looks like some of the robot dogs presently on the market.
The 'Mantis' chair is designed in two color schemes including one that's green and gold, and another that's blue and white. These two finishes convey different aesthetics that are either somewhat naturalistic or futuristic.
