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”.
