Renowned designer Moritz Waldemeyer has come up with some amazing chairs that respond to the colour of a user’s outfit, projecting an aura of matching coloured light around the chair. Waldemeyer’s aim is to turn furnishings and furniture into interactive fun.
He says:
“This new creation is a piece of furniture that interacts with what you wear changing the atmosphere and space around it. A sensor in the back of the chair reads the colour of the clothing and projects it on to the surface behind using LED lighting. This gives the individual sitting on it their own halo of light, evoking images of religious icons and kings.”
Moritz Waldemeyer’s By Royal Appointment chairs retail from £9,998 ($20,000).
