take a seat

Jelte van Geest , a Dutch designer has created the most imaginative concept that I have ran across in some time. Take A Seat was designed for Openbare Bibliotheek Eindhoven. You can check out the chair and it is literally there for you anytime you may need it. If only I could get one of these things to follow me onto the subway! The video is a must see.

10. RFID Robotic Chair Follows You Around For Constant Seating » VLA Blogs | June 16, 2008 at 8:46 am
[…] Dutch designer Jelte van Geest’s RFID-enabled robotic chair is for Openbare Bibliotheek Endhoven, and it’s fantastic. What you do is swipe your RFID-enabled library card in front of the chair’s sensor, which then follows you (or your card) around the library so you always have somewhere to sit.
