Home spaces have been shrinking with more and more innovations taking the design world by storm every now and then. New architectural experiments promise the moon in a few feet space too. But how about fitting all the functions of a home in a single chair?
A designer has actually done that. Call it an autonomous living unit, furniture creativity or a satire, but Eduardo McIntosh has embarked on the design to provide for basic needs of the 21st century human being and envisioned furniture that can be fixed in buildings that are in ruins and also other deserted housing projects.
Is it what our future ways of living will evolve into? With living spaces shrinking further and further, with independent homes turning into tiny apartments and apartments into tiny condominiums, the chair is just what the human race may need in future. The multi-purpose and multi-functional chair is a kind of mirror to what we humans might just end up doing – living in claustrophobic spaces.
Eduardo McIntosh’s Autonomous Living Unit was presented as an exhibit at Future Cities: Past, Present, at New York in April 2009.
