Inception Chair

Chairception!



Inception chair is a project by Vivian Chiu, a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design in the Furniture Design department, which consists of several interlocking chairs mimicking the concept of dream-within-a-dream from the Inception film.

The interlocking series of chairs create the 3D illusion.







Taking the chair archetype and placing within it chairs that are progressively smaller. Each chair has hand cut grooves on the inside edges of its seat frame as well as notches in the seat back. These grooves range from 1/2” wide to 1/8” wide. The mechanism works so that the pegs fit into the grooves of the chair one size bigger and slides into place so that the horizontal edge between the chair seat and back line up. The simple mechanism allows the chairs to be taken apart and put together with ease.
