Transparent Chair by Nendo at Milan Furniture Fair 2011

Nendo has done it again with another ingenious chair! Japanese design studio Nendo’s Transparent Chair appears as only backrest and arm rests but is a fully functioning chair wrapped in polyurethane film. a transparent material that is commonly used as a packing material for precision instruments and products susceptible to vibrations and shock. Nendo was able to use this material in a chair due to its high elasticity and ability to return to its original state.

The work of Nendo continues to invite the viewer into their creations for something a little unexpected and pleasant. the plastic chair seems to invisibly support one’s weight and form into a hammock while one’s body seems to float in space to other viewers.
