Magis Spun: Fun by Design

By

Design is so busy solving problems that we sometimes forget that it’s OK to have fun with it. That certainly isn’t the case with Spun, a design whose sole purpose seems to be bringing smiles to the faces of everyone that sits in it.

Designed by Heatherwick Studio, Spun it looks more like a children’s top than a chair when upright. But lay it on it’s side and Spun becomes a comfortable chair that lets the sitter rock side to side—and best of all—spin around, and around, and around.

Check out the video we made the day Spun arrived at Herman Miller. Enjoy the smiles as people experience it for the first time.

wow, looks like a giant thumb tac!

when you look at this chair the first thought that comes to you: it might be uncomfortable, but then, seeing people faces, I know exactly that I WANT THAT CHAIR TO BE MINE …
So great that you’ve made it

Andrea,
Spun is actually much more comfortable that you would expect from the way it looks. I hope you get a chance to experience one yourself.

I tried this chair on a recent visit to Herman Miller Inc, and must say it is sculptural and really does bring out the joy in sitting! It takes dynamic seating to a whole new level!

Before I saw the comments I was thinking exactly the same as Carol “a giant thumb tac” but great fun guys we need lots more of this in todays world.
