Glowing, Multipurpose Furniture Cubes Could Really Brighten Up Your Living Room

TeamLab’s Media Block Chair are blocks that change color when attached.

If something glows, it’s going to attract a lot more attention than something that doesn’t. Just look at the glowworm. It gets much more respect than your average garden variety worm. So if you’re going to make a multi-purpose block chair might as well make it glow too—just to be on the safe side.

Called the Media Block Chair, this “smart” seat is created byTokyo-based designers TeamLab and each block consists of three protruding sides and three indented sides. The protruding sides and the indented sides communicate with each other once you link them together, changing color when placed together. For instance, red and blue make purple.

The blocks can sat on individually or you can connect them together to create different styles of seats or a table or a partition or whatever you like. They might not be the comfiest thing to sit on, but who cares when they look like this.
