just sit on the chair, look at the dial
between your legs, lift your legs off the ground
and weigh-hey! it tells you your weight,
discretely (well sort of...)
This was our entry into this years 'Adopt a Chair' competition as part of the Cardiff Design Festival. Designers are invited to pick an unloved chair from a warehouse and inject some new life into it...
The Weigh-Hey! Chair is an interactive analogue retro object which is hopefully both charming and innovative. The idea is based around the introduction of a new fun eating related function; a new lease of life and secrecy (chair meets scales). The Weigh-Hey! chair is strangely contemporary yet reassuringly traditional and we purposely didn’t apply any surface finish to the old existing parts (apart from our ‘graffiti’ logo) – it is what it is and it was what it was.
The chair was designed by Neil Barron and made by Dai Kneath.
We're told that the chair was runner up in this year's competition, which is nice:)
