Wu Yu-Ying, The young and talented designer had won the red dot award for her furniture design called Breathing Chair. when first time I look at this chair, a giant cheese fly in my mind. The form of this unique furniture was very similar. But forget about the cheese….
The concept of this chair is very simple, Wu has thought how to make a comfort chair when someone sit on it. This chair will transform its shape according to the body of the person who sitting on it. The design focuses on the process of sitting on a chair, as well as the interaction between the user and the chair while using it.

Breathing chair is very elastic and provide full support for people to sit on. When the user sits on the chair, the edges of the chair automatically become the armrest; also, when the user stands up from the chair, the chair returns to the original shape of a cube. The changing of shape is resulted from the weight of the user and the texture of the material, instead of using any mechanism.
