You And All Your Friends | Twitter From The Same Chair

You And All Your Friends | Twitter From The Same Chair

Now when Twitter is such a huge force in peoples lives and business there is no end to how much time a person is ready to spend on getting the latest and greatest news out on the Internet and to his/her followers. Sadly I have a feeling we haven’t seen the last of it yet and I am sure we’ll see someone fall victim for the furious Twittering climate that is on a rising front. Hopefully we’ll see people stay tweeting just the way they are but you never know, right?

If you are Twittering through long hours, it is important to have a comfortable chair to park your behind in so that your back doesn’t hurt from excessive Twittering. Also, mandatory should be to have a phone nearby to get some real interaction to still feel connected with the rest of the world. The real world. Or at least that has been the thoughts of many now when Twitter is such a big part of their life. There is a solution for that lonely feeling you sometimes feel when sitting for hours on end typing away on your keyboard just to get a few messages out to your friends and colleagues.

The solution, created by designer Jie-Jyun Lyu, is called “Shair“. And no I didn’t spell that wrong, it’s a word game played on the words “Share” and “Chair” to incorporate the multiple use of this one chair.

So what’s so different about this chair? It’s the very core of it really that is going to change how you will offer to go and pick up another chair for your friends when they come to visit. Or not really. This chair is several chairs in one. Yeah, it sounds a bit odd but when you look at the pictures it’s quite clear why that is.

You simply pull out one of the pillows making up the chair you sit in and it will unfold to create yet another seat for your friend. This could be the ultimate solution for the conference room at some of the edgier Internet companies around the world. Don’t expect to see this in the conference room at Ericsson however. The “Ties” aren’t a custom to sitting on the floor I suppose. I, for one, really like the design of it and would, in a heartbeat, buy it to have it in the studio. It would be perfect when writing new songs with other writers and producers.

I think at this point it’s just a concept design. Depending on if any manyfacturers pick it up it will be available. But I am quite sure it will be as it has so many neat features and looks really good as well. Expect it to come out in Asia first though. :)

After Twittering for hours on end, I notice that my shoulders hurt. This chair is awesome! There is nothing that looks more cozy than a chair made out of pillows. I want one!

Indeed Diana! I was first hesitant that it were to feel bulky and uncomfortable but after looking at it for a few minutes it really looks comfy. :)

It’s beautifully designed, looks like once you sat down in it you’d never want to get up.

I love that it pulls apart to provide seating for other people too. It’d be a great thing to have in a room where you were doing small group work or brainstorming.

Indeed! Totally a brainforce to use and a soulsoothing design to seat ones bottom in. :) Right you are!

It is a beautiful chair and would probably look great in the den of my new house…coming very soon I hope.

Until then, I usually compute from my laptop while either sitting up or reclining in bed. Not comfortable at all :(

I guess we’re a bunch of people now waiting for this chair. We should make a request list to make sure they manufacture it. ;)

Well just to play the devil’s advocate, it just looks like a lot of hassle to remove all those chairs and fold it out and back. Putting normal chairs back to where they were, and stacking legacy chairs, seems to be easier! Great as a concept though :)

LOL, a bit lazy I see. ;) Good point. :)
