The unnamed designer creates chairs out of pretty much any piece of visual inspiration \u2013 but while most of his chairs are just form exercises, this one has incredible artistic and philosophical value. It\u2019s postmodernism disguised as furniture and I\u2019m absolutely here for it!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-547950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/muddycap_soul_chair_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/23\/what-if-chairs-had-souls-this-designer-thinks-they-do\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"What If Chairs Had Souls?

One is opaque and deep blue, symbolizing the chair\u2019s body, while the other is transparent and light blue-tinted, implying the chair\u2019s soul. To show that the body is, in fact, dead, the opaque chair looks like it\u2019s buckling under its own weight, collapsing towards the floor with bent rear legs. Meanwhile, the soul chair rises from it, balanced perfectly in a manner that still makes it easy to sit on.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-547951\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/auto-draft\/muddycap_soul_chair_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1600\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/23\/what-if-chairs-had-souls-this-designer-thinks-they-do\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"What If Chairs Had Souls?

The transparent chair even has supportive ribs on the base so that it doesn\u2019t crack when you sit on it.
