]]> <![CDATA[Ghost in the Chair Design is Milky not Spooky]]> it would have been better if they put skeletons (real human skeletons) in it instead of some-wood-odd-looking chairs.

]]> <![CDATA[Ghost in the Chair Design is Milky not Spooky]]> It can be done by subsurface laser engraving.
The company who made the machine (cerion gmbh) is our partner.

New technology lunched this year can make it much more faster so such products can go down with price and go mainstream.

mtopper

]]> <![CDATA[Ghost in the Chair Design is Milky not Spooky]]> it's an acrylic chair. having worked jobs that designed using acrylic, i can tell you it's not "invisible", any more than the cookie tray at subway is "invisible". it's clear acrylic, so you'll see it.

it also won't be comfortable (as many have already noted), and it will get milky and scratchy very easily. acrylic scratches quite quickly, just pants moving around on it will get it milky. have a look at any acrylic cups you might have at home, they don't stay nice and clear for very long.

and based on the pics, it's made of thick acrylic, 2" maybe even more, so

1) it'll be expensive (sheets of 2" acrylic are not cheap), and

2) it'll have seams where they put the pieces together (you can avoid some of them, but not all of them - look at any acrylic box next time you walk into a department store, they're far from perfect looking).

]]> <![CDATA[Ghost in the Chair Design is Milky not Spooky]]> cool, expensive and crap.

another masterpiece for the architectural journals to be lapped up by the talentless academics that profess to know best.....

It's actually an illustration of a trefoil knot (math thing). The original is here.

thats fart gas

mtopper

]]> <![CDATA[Ghost in the Chair Design is Milky not Spooky]]> since its acrylic, presumably it can be made in any shape. for example, exactly the curve and size of my ass. THAT I would buy.

The chair could look like a giant middle finger, as long as its comfy.

scarbrtj

]]> <![CDATA[Ghost in the Chair Design is Milky not Spooky]]> The lighting on this thing is very unusual to the point of being suspicious.

Semi transparent things generally photograph oddly, but the idea that the "best light" for this thing is almost complete blackness lit directly from the back suggests that this thing may or may not look anything like the picture in real life.

bombastinator

]]> <![CDATA[Ghost in the Chair Design is Milky not Spooky]]> Neat idea but the pattern inside of it looks like a more comfortable chair design than the actual chair part.
