Inspiration for This Work

The tennis ball chair was initiated by the exploration of various sitting postures. I aimed to design a chair for use in domestic arena which allows people to sit comfortably while watching TV, reading books, etc.

After conducting a series of research, I was intrigued by how children interact with 'Ball-pool' where the whole body is immersed and embraced by polyurethane ball with a very much satisfying expression.
