4NE1 Roller Coaster Style Transportation Seat by Christopher Simmons

Designed by Christopher Simmons, this 4NE1 is an innovation design in transportation seat for the future. Christopher Simmons, a student from Monash University was trying to create a vehicle seat this can be enjoy by elders, adults, kids and even physically impaired, that was when 4NE1 roller coaster style seat born.

This system is completely innovative and takes a whole new look at how we perceive space within a vehicle. Concerns have been raised about structural strength within the roof , but with structural reinforcement at little added cost – there is no reason why a roof cannot support the 24G crash impact requirements.

Importantly, in being firmly suspended from a roof, each chair has excellent properties for impact absorption in frontal and rear impact collisions and is further supported by an anti-whiplash? back rest that comes forward upon impact. The products seat base can raise and lower with it?s own back depending on desired use.

Love the idea, this roller coaster style seat might not be available soon, but it does add futuristic style for cars. I wont’ be surprise to see 4NE1 next in the car design concept. One thing to ask to Christopher is the size of this seat, I mean some people can be really really big, if that’s the case, do they still fit into this seat ?

Pushchair Design for 3 Children

Nick Colvin redesigned a child’s pushchair to meet the rugged demands of everyday life. He wanted the pushchair had to be able to accommodate 3 children of varying ages with enough storage space to carry any accessories & toys etc. One of the stipulations the group included was to ensure that the pushchair would last as the children grew up, as the cost of pushchairs has vastly increased in recent years. The pushchair had to be of solid build quality to ensure it passed any health and safety standards, all of which had to be achieved whilst retaining a contemporary aesthetic. As with all pushchairs size is a major issue especially when dealing with a 3 seater pushchair. Which is why his design features a unique folding design to minimize space when folded but retain maximum seating and room capacity.
