The Love Handles Chair by NunoErin
Jackson, Mississippi based design studio NunoErin have created the Love Handles chair.
The Love Handles chair is a full-figured lounge chair inspired by the body’s hidden curves. It is a playful study in form and a nod to everyday beauty and imperfection. The chair’s subtle asymmetry, proportions, and cushioning offer surprising comfort and plenty of room to lounge, while its stable structure and durable frame ensure that people can freely engage with its various surfaces.
The Love Handles chair features an interactive finish that shifts color in response to body heat. Sitting on the chair will activate the piece’s color-changing properties and leave behind temporary prints of the body in unexpected new colors.
Contemporist readers might remember that back in September 2008 we featured NunoErin’s Touch Wall Panels made of the same thermosensitive material, you can see that post – here.
The Love Handles chair is available in several thermosensitive and solid color finishes and is designed for commercial and residential spaces.
The Love Handles chair is made in Mississippi, USA.
Dimensions: L:38.5″ W:39.5″ H:19″/29″

About ten years ago I saw a dining chair with heat sensitive paint at an exhibition. A woman was just trying it out. It was summer and she was dressed accordingly. She removed herself from the seat and we both looked at the result. Her face turned ash grey and she quickly walked away. I personally will never sit in one of these chairs.

I think this may be a better application for kids and teenagers. I can see them playing with this chair all day. Most grown ups may be too prudish. Kids generally like to interact with their environment more….
