Self-Sustainable Chair by Joo Youn Paek
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5SdTX4PRvU&hl=en&fs=1] It's hard to choose my favorite work by the Seoul-based artist Joo Youn Paek. Her self-sustainable chair concept comes in at the top though. With each step, air pumps styled as shoes inflate the backside of the dress. Once the dress is completely filled with air, the wearer sits on it for a moment of reflection and to deflate the dress for another round.
