Ruby Project Chair by Marcos Madia
By Chris Weiss
Like many concept chairs, the Ruby Chair doesn’t look overwhelmingly comfortable or inviting–better to stick it in a far corner of the den or patio and use it for conversation only. Despite its less-than-cozy look, the piece designed by Buenos Aires-based Marcos Madia is certainly striking, looking as though its individual triangular segments could fold down to carry case size and accompany you wherever you go. The distinct extended legs give it an animalistic feel almost like a crab, scorpion or other spiny creature coming directly at the onlooker. Sit in it if you dare, and enjoy a relaxed state of mind.
