Plugged in: Sitting on a connected revolution

17 : 08 : 2011 Internet : USB Port : Segment Seating System

Jerusalem – Product designer Noam Fass has created the Segment seating system, which incorporates a USB port that enables people to charge their smartphones, tablets or laptops.

The furniture incorporates the idea that communication is changing. Even when sitting alone or with friends, people still communicate with others, updating social media profiles or browsing the internet.

The furniture is made up of different segments that can be re-arranged depending on the social situation, whether lounging alone, or sitting with friends.

The furniture is a response to emerging ways in which we interact with one another. For more examples of how design and technology are becoming simpler and more refined, read our Intuitive Futures macro trend.
