Voso-voso 3 Rocking Chair
red dot
red dot award: design concept 2008
Voso-voso 3 is a multifunctional rocking chair
that can be used as a chair, a stool, a rocking
horse, or even as a waist exercising tool for
one or two people.
Voso-voso 3 brings a great deal of fun and
surprise to the sitting experience. The seat
component is longer and narrower than
ordinary chairs, so one or two users can be
accommodated. Its back is a simple curved
bar which also serves as a handle when the
user(s) turn(s) around to use it as a rocking
horse. The user can comfortably rest their
arms on the handle thanks to the soft foam
material used. One can also choose to sit
sideways and use the chair as a stool. Rocking
sideways is a good waist exercise.
The shape has been carefully designed to
pique people’s curiosity and imagination – is
it a deer, a goat or a praying mantis? There is
no correct answer. It is also a fun challenge for
people to discover how many ways Voso-voso
3 can be used.
The comfortable upholstered seat is covered
with easy-to-clean fabric. The handle (or
armrest or seat back) is composed of rigid
polyurethane foam with internal steel framing
to ensure a firm grip or a sturdy support to the
user’s back. The stainless steel leg framing
gives the chair a lightweight look – and indeed
it is light – but it is strong enough to support
two adults. The warmth of the two curved wood base rods balances the cooler look of the stainless steel. The colour and material
combination makes it compatible to different
interior styles. |
