Taipei-based industrial designer Yu-Ying Wu's Breathing Chair resembles a block of aerated tofu. Closer inspection reveals that the triangular voids vary in size, and their placement has been carefully calculated; the large triangles at the top-front-center "give" the most, creating a chair-like shape when compressed by a human body.
Wu's chair, inspired by plant cells, took home a Red Dot Design Award in the home furniture design concept category earlier this year.
