Spun Chair
A spinning top of a chair born of Thomas Heatherwick's genius, Spun is a startling—and fun—twist on conventional furniture design. When upright, Spun has the silhouette of a sculptural vessel; leaned on its side, Spun lets you rock and spin, rotating a full 360 degrees if the spirit moves you.
Spun’s playful possibilities result from research into the geometric simplification of a familiar object type. Using full-size test pieces, Heatherwick arrived at a form with seat, back, and arms at all the same profile to achieve a symmetrically comfortable chair.
