In 2012 the Marathoon foundation, Catharina Hospital, Van Berlo Design Agency, Web Chair Communication System and the Technical University of Eindhoven started a project to design a piece of furniture and technological support for the children’s ward in Eindhoven to enable the kids in the isolation room to keep in touch and stay connected with their friends, family and follow classes remotely.
The ComfortChair is a high-tech piece of furniture which modestly integrates numerous features in a clean and friendly design to provide a peaceful and comfortable time for kids in the childrens ward.
One of the main feature of the chair is the two section articulated arm which allows the user to adjust the distance and angle between them and the 22 inch HP Touchsmart all-in-one PC. The chair segmented into two part, a rotating top part with a sophisticated back- and armrest and a base part which includes a game console. The fully rotating seat over the base allow flexibility and freedom to the user to align themselves to the screen.
