The designer took the inspiration for these chairs from the concept of dismantlement, which was taken from the Icelandic singer Bjork’s 1999 video for the song ‘All Is Full of Love.’
The structure is comprised of separate parts that are assembled to create the whole – the seat, the seat back, and the legs. When shipped, the disassembled components of the chair fit in a box measuring only 50cm by 50cm 20cm. The chair has been constructed out of plywood and acrylic felt made of recycled plastic bottles to the glue, underscores the need to produce environmental friendly products.
The designer stated that he was intrigued by the concept of robots becoming living beings and has tried to apply the same concept in the creation of his Robo Chairs. The goal was to create an object that respected the environment by playing with a design comprised of separate pieces so that the chair could be transported in a small box, he added. Nichetto has paid particular emphasis on the shapes of the robot’s ‘limbs’ of this chair, thus the name.
