That's a really cool chair , but it just needs some wheels so you can use it better at a desk.

more info on the chair

- took me about 6 months of work @ 45 minutes a day
- its a huge chair, compare it to the couch behind it, you head makes it to the 6th 'rib'
- all curves were bent using ply wood glued together over a template curve, it was then placed in a suction bag which sucked the ply down over the template

Very nice piece of work mate!
It looks like it would be very comfortable.
I think your ideas would translate well to automotive seating.
For some reason the side view made me think of the movie ALIEN.
Keep up the good work!!!

I would have went with black enamel on the wood with black vinyl cushions; then it would be a perfect take over the world chair. (Especcially if you command an evil insect army...)

Fantastic work.

Except curvy chairs aren't too comfortable, and comfy chairs aren't so upright.
