Introducing the �Lean Chair�

This peculiar chair, called the An Lena chair, was created by Simone Harbert as part of a student exhibition at the Burg Giebichenstein College of Art and Design in Germany.

The piece was a commentary on parasitism, as it supported itself from gripping two surfaces: the floor and the wall.

The piece is a parasitic prototype, which cleverly supports itself by gripping into the masonry work of the walls it leans against. Harbert�s idea is that with lightweight and mobile furniture, urban landscapes can quickly be transformed into community spaces.
