Mind Chair – 'Polyprop'

Beta Tank + Peter Marigold

The Mind Chair 'Polyprop' is a model of an ordinary polypropylene chair which is fitted with sensory substitution technology.

It suggests a future in which every class room makes use of our ability to see with our skin. Children lean back in order to experience a more involved way of learning. – A learning experience which is supported by internal images and personal concentration phases.

We have created the 'Polyprop' in collaboration with Peter Marigold. It is on display in the MoMA's Design and the Elastic Mind exhibition.
