ulo

Posted on June 8, 2007 Under Design

I officially had a fanboy moment last night, when Ian Walton shot us an email about the latest addition to his portfolio, the ulo chair. Upon watching the video of how it converts from its “upright” to “lounge” positions I have to say that the chair is, for lack of a better word, totally hot. Much like his Glo Pillow and the Miele Cultivate System I’ve covered previously, the ulo is an innovative modern update on what many times might be considered a mundane or boring living necessity; it also takes cues and inspiration from compact living situations (like the WeeHouses), hence the double-duty. The chair is on display at the NCAD Graduate Show in Dublin until the 17th of June. Don’t fret if you don’t get to see it now…I’m positive we’ll be seeing huge things from Ian very, very soon.
