Inflatable Chair

Environmental Technology / Spring 2023
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Professor Tommy Schaperkotter
Group Project with Evan Chiang, Zelda Liu

The inflatable chair concept uses a wooden structural frame with special joints that allow it to unfold and lock in place, and clear vinyl cushions supported by through-holes. The small, lightweight packaging and sustainable materials reduces the chair’s embodied carbon to 3.4 kgCO2e.
