Take a seat, meet a stranger, change your perspective.
We often shy away from engaging with strangers in public spaces, Chairwave is here to change this.
This innovative, kinetic, and illuminated seating system invites spontaneous interactions and authentic connections between individuals.
As you approach, Chairwave responds playfully, making a seat available for you and several 'strangers'. Once you accept, the adjacent seat opens, enticing the next person to join you.
What follows is up to you, but the light-hearted mood of this work will be sure to break through any barriers and allow you to have a real conversation, even if brief. A reminder that a simple act, like taking a seat and asking a question, can have profound consequences, connecting us and affirming our shared humanity.
