Take A Seat

Take A SeatDutch designer Jelte van Geest created a rather special pouf for a library design project and called it “Take A Seat”. It’s a robotic chair that actually follows you around. The library cards have an embedded RFID chip, which the chairs use to find and follow their target. The designer says:

Robots are often seen as mean machines. However, they do have a more friendly side, which should have a more prominent place in our society.

You can see these chairs in action in the public library in Eindhoven
