Ever tried to take a seat in a chair that just didn’t seem to want to accept your bottom? You fidget and turn this way and that and cross your legs and pull them up onto the seat, but you still can’t find a comfortable spot to rest your aching behind. Don’t let it bother you too much, not when the Wave Seat is here. Designed to shape like a wave, this seat, titled Noah, can comfortably accommodate every bottom of different shapes and sizes, ahum.

The Noah Wave Seatdesign that customises itself to every individual’s bottom shape is possible through the use of polymers infused with nanotube. When electric current passes through them at the moment of use, the nanotubes would stretch and contract, acquiring the shape of the user after stiffening and softening into shape. Designed by Jung Hoon Rhee, the concept would be ideal to be used for seats in vehicles and also to transport fragile cargo.
