Simple Seating For The Modern Nomad

Simple Seating For The Modern Nomad

By Kyle Studstill on April 14, 2010

Designer Alejandro Aravena has crafted the Chairless, billed as a simple strap device for the modern nomad. The strap is easily carried; a sturdy band of fabric that can be wrapped around one’s knees and back such that the user can sit in a supported position anywhere.

Aravena explains:

It is obvious that many things have evolved since the beginning of time and that progress has accumulated in our lives in the form of sophisticated needs and desires. But it is also true that there are many things and needs that haven’t changed much since our origins and they can still be satisfied in an extremely simple way: sitting comfortably on the ground is one of them.
