Chairs. The oddest.
Vitra Chairless is a simple seating device which already has thousands of fans all over the world including Rolf Fehlbaum (Chairman of Vitra ).
It is a strap to wrap around the back and knees to stabilize the body and relieve tension while seated. The inspiration for Chairless was Ayoreo Indians from Paraguay, who don't use chairs when sitting but ordinary stripes. Alejandro Aravena, architect from Chile has copied that idea and sold it to Vitra as a product relevant to global crisis.
As a sign of gratitude to the original inventors, a part of the proceeds from Chairless sales is transferred to the non-profit foundation which directly supports the Ayoreo Indians.
