Details
We designed a chair exclusively for LOVOT, the family type robot. No one has ever designed wooden furniture for robots in the context of living together with humans. The shell is crafted to a soft, enveloping shape to match the robot’s spherical outline. The hole on the backrest allows heat dissipation from the robot’s tail, contributing to the chair’s iconic look. Although the meticulous design process has been similar to how one might design chairs for humans, the difference between robots and humans resulted in a distinctive style that sets LOVOT CHAIR apart from human chairs.
The Jury‘s Statement
The chair for robots sets new standards in furniture design for technological household companions. The soft, enveloping shape and the sophisticated details for heat dissipation ensure harmonious integration into the human environment. The “LOVOT CHAIR” shows how functional requirements can be translated into an iconic design.
