Sitscape: Seating For Any Position or Pose

atlaSitscape_complete.jpgThe Sitscape was designed to accomodate for up to 7 different resting position, its customizable contoured shape created by cutout laminated pieces of wood, pieced together through a steel and aluminum framework. A few more images below...

Clearly more an art installation than a place to relax...

If they attached cushions around each individual piece of wood then it would still have the holes in between each piece but would be much more comfortable to sit or lie on.

Cool idea, but ugly and uncomfortable! Wouldn't be some place I would rest my bum for long.

I would cover it with some fabric I think it would look cooler!

This kind of innovation that combines thoughtful design with aesthetic beauty really excites me. If only it was more comfortable I would buy it (I'm assuming that it's not super-comfortable).
