It\u2019s not just some fabric, it\u2019s real plants! 3 design students from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden changed the narrative of chairs for humans. Why do chairs always have to be used for us to come sit on them? We\u2019re all taught that plants are living beings right? What if these living things could practically bring furniture to life? This chair is a unique piece of furniture that prioritizes plant life over human occupants by allowing them to grow on it.<\/p>\n<p>Designers: Alice Hultqvist, Emelie Sj\u00f6berg and Linnea Nilsson<\/p>\n<p>The Chia-Chair is different from regular chairs. Instead of cushions or upholstery, the chair has a seat and backrest that are composed of a knitted, knotted tube that doubles as a planting bed for chia seeds. The idea is to let the plants be the main users of the chair, and humans are just visitors. The designers emphasize that humans should <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach it with respect, recognizing that it\u2019s a living thing.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"size-full wp-image-481349\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/21\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Chair Allows Plants to Grow On it And Puts Nature Before Human Needs\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_02.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_02.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-481349\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/21\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Chair Allows Plants to Grow On it And Puts Nature Before Human Needs\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_02.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"a04af7854f08d2eca5916b47-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"a04af7854f08d2eca5916b47-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-481350\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/21\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Chair Allows Plants to Grow On it And Puts Nature Before Human Needs\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_03.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_03.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-481350\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/21\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Chair Allows Plants to Grow On it And Puts Nature Before Human Needs\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_03.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Hultqvist, Sj\u00f6berg, and Nilsson, all students in the MA Design program at HDK-Valand, the University of Gothenburg\u2019s art and design academy, showcased their creations at the Making Transparency exhibition. This event, hosted in the student-focused Greenhouse section of the Stockholm Furniture Fair, explored posthumanist design principles.<\/p>\n<p>The inspiration behind the Chia-Chair arose from the designers\u2019 contemplation of humanity\u2019s negative impact on the planet. They acknowledged that throughout the last century, humans have prioritized their needs at the expense of nature and wildlife, leading to severe consequences. The Chia-Chair, therefore, serves as a symbolic gesture, aiming to redress the balance by placing the plant at the forefront and demanding reciprocity from its human users.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-481351\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/21\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Chair Allows Plants to Grow On it And Puts Nature Before Human Needs\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_04.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_04.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-481351\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/21\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Chair Allows Plants to Grow On it And Puts Nature Before Human Needs\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_04.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"a04af7854f08d2eca5916b47-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"a04af7854f08d2eca5916b47-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_481352\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-481352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"size-full wp-image-481352\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/21\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Chair Allows Plants to Grow On it And Puts Nature Before Human Needs\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_05.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-481352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_05.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-481352\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/21\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Chair Allows Plants to Grow On it And Puts Nature Before Human Needs\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_05.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-8\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad layout=\"fluid\" height=\"fluid\" type=\"doubleclick\" data-slot=\"\/3847355\/yd-select-amp\"><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-481352\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">yanko design images to size \u2013 Chia_chair_furntiure_05<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Constructed with an ash wood frame and a wool sock filled with polyester stuffing as the cushion, the Chia-Chair offers a distinctive aesthetic. The chia seeds, mixed with water, were planted in the knitted structure, and the designers diligently watered them twice daily. To maintain optimal growing conditions, a plastic cover was placed over the chair overnight to retain moisture.<\/p>\n<p>While the Chia-Chair may be more of a statement piece than a functional item, the designers foresee a future where greenery becomes integral to our living spaces. In an era of increasing urbanization that disconnects people from nature, incorporating natural elements into furniture and homes is seen as a natural progression.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-481353\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/21\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Chair Allows Plants to Grow On it And Puts Nature Before Human Needs\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_06.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_06.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-481353\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/03\/21\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Chair Allows Plants to Grow On it And Puts Nature Before Human Needs\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/03\/this-chair-allows-plants-to-grow-on-it-and-puts-nature-before-human-needs\/Chia_chair_furntiure_06.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The Chia-Chair serves as a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between humans and nature.
