I guess there’s some unspoken video-games-as-furniture zeitgeist going on in the world, what with industrial designer GaenKoh‘s incredibly Tetris-like ”tat-ris” furniture seeing the light only weeks after that famed Space Invader couch. The Singaporean designer created this piece of interactive modular seating after seeing kids at play, and how they couldn’t sit down for more […]
