Using technology to slow down the world

How we designed the Chairwave
In public spaces, people don’t like to sit next to each other people if they don’t have to. At a train station or airport you’ll find people sitting as far away from each other, even though research shows that talking with strangers makes people (and you!) feel happier. So we made the Chairwave, an interactive row of chairs that only opens seats next to where people sit down.
