responsive chair

Conductive thread has been embroidered into the patterned armrests of this chair by artist Shiori Saito. When you touch the armrests, your body acts as a variable resistor, triggering different domestic sounds. I love the care with which the embroidery has been matched to the existing pattern on the chair's upholstery. (via Fashioning Technology)
