Take-a-Seat: The chair that follows you 17 Dec 2007

Jelte van Geest's "Take-a-Seat" is a chair that follows you around. Say you're visiting your local library, for example...You simply hold your membership-card against the chair's built-in sensor for a second and from then on you have a seat that tags along behind you wherever you go. The video clip below - made by van Geest as part of his graduation project at the Design Academy Eindhoven - illustrates this very scenario:

Smart! I hope these seats will be used in every library over the world. It is futuristic, very handy and user-friendly: we need designers like this guy! (I'd like one (or two, or three, or ...) of these chairs in my house, too.)

agree, very futuristic, but come to think of it... why so futuristic? we have the technology, we have the resources... i think this will happen very soon.
