The Spun Chair: A Sculpture That Rotates You

Is it an oversized toy? Is it a sculpture? Is it a piece of furniture? All perhaps.

The chair gives you a unique sensation — the sensation that you will fall off at any second — but you never do. You just spin around as if you were perched on a giant spinning top (which you are).

The chair was created by Thomas Heatherwick  — he collaborated with the Italian furniture firm Magis to produce this chair. To construct it, plastic pellets are heated and “rotationally molded”.
