From Nendo, here's a fun imagining of 50 different chair designs, inspired by the way that kinetic energy is visually represented in manga. They've presented it in animation form, as one chair that morphs into all 50 designs:

"50 manga chairs is the result of adapting the strong symbolic nature of manga comics to furniture design.

"Manga consists of a series of frames on a single sheet of paper that creates a sequence. Similarly, 50 standard chairs are lined up in a grid, each one conjures up a sense of story, and each with a design element from manga. For example, a 'speech bubble' or 'effect line' are added to visualize sound or action. Or emotional symbols from manga, like 'sweat' or 'tears', are formed so that a sense of story and character can be felt.

"Manga is a means of expression with a high degree of flatness and abstraction, and which is composed of a series of lines. We could say that manga comics are deeply rooted in Japanese culture, since they can be traced back to Ukiyoe prints developed during the Edo period (1603-1868 A.D.)."
