Part Chindōgu, part performance—Joo Youn Paek’s Self-Sustainable Chair is a polyethylene dress which gradually inflates into a chair with every step. The chair provides the wearer with a temporary seat and slowly deflates (and transforms back into a dress) under the sitter’s body weight.

The purpose of this project is to transform the humdrum experiences produced by routine walking commutes into an amusing interactive performance.
