“Hultqvist, Sjöberg and Nilsson are all students on the MA Design programme at HDK-Valand, the University of Gothenburg’s art and design academy.
They created Chia-Chair for the exhibition Making Transparency, an exploration into posthumanist design, which was presented in Stockholm Furniture Fair’s student-focused Greenhouse section.
The designers planted seeds in the chair in the days running up to the fair, so visitors could observe the shoots growing across the duration of the exhibition.
The designers came up with the concept after thinking about the negative impact that we as humans have had on the planet, but prioritising our own needs before anything else.”
