Maker Faire Austin 2007
Tranquilounger
This odd-looking, yet very inviting, seating device lures humans to sit, where they become so comfortable and tranquil it becomes nearly impossible to escape, thereby trapping them for study. It features contoured back and bass-driven musical vibrations that shake the entire device.
