Ian Walton, a recent ID grad from the National College of Art & Design in Dublin, goes out with a bang thanks do his awesome Ulo chair design. To accommodate compact living spaces, Walton designed Ulo to be a truly adaptable piece, effortlessly converting from an upright to lounging configuration with one smooth motion, made possible by a flexible frame. Gotta see it to believe it--check out the video below.

The chair was my final project in ID. The model I built is representational and NOT a prototype.
Believe me I want to sit on it as much as you want to see me sit on it.
The loading on the top flex joint is a moment force of .7 kg/m with a 100KG user. More than easily held in place by the 8mm hardened steel locking shafts.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Still, great idea - would love to see it implemented.
When I sit down the chair is not going to comply alone ? We see on the video how to change the chair, but never how to use it to sit down !
