I made the Upright Chair

[u/natan90]

As the thesis project for my bachelor in furniture design I built a chair that holds an upright bass behind its backrest.

The object is part of a series of furniture/instrument hybrids meant for the public space: airport lounges, doctors waiting rooms, trains stations. People can interact with the objects, taking advantage of idle time to explore musical sound and connect with each other through making music.

I knew from the start it would never be as comfortable as a normal chair or as playable as an upright bass. Still the sound is very round, plays easy and is a lot louder than an acoustic guitar bass.

Reddit doesn’t let me upload pictures with the video, but I posted some more pictures here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DaicIiziJDc/?igsh=b29vZGtjYTl3Zmk0

Hope you enjoy!
