Shape-shifting 'Breathing Chair' looks to make the beanbag fashionable: "

Shape-shifting chairs may not always be the most attractive additions to your living room, but Taiwanese designer Yu-Ying Wu is hoping to change that with her so-called 'Breathing Chair,' which has already won a few prestigious design awards but hasn't yet snagged any commercial partners. The secret, such as it is, is the array of 'professionally calculated' holes spaced out through the three layers of foam plastic, which are designed to compress into the shape of an armchair when someone sits in it and spring back into a cube when they stand up. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any video of it in action, but the chair will soon be on display at Red Dot Design Museum in Singapore if you happen to be in the area.
