Milan 2016: in our next movie from Nike's The Nature of Motion exhibition, architect Greg Lynn explains how his body temperature-regulating chair could help athletes significantly improve their performance.
Nike 's The Nature of Motion exhibition presented installations by an array of international designers exploring the concept of movement. Lynn presented a high-tech carbon-fibre chair with embedded electronics, which is designed to cool and heat athletes between periods of exercise.
"This piece of equipment has sensing technology, heating, cooling and air built into it that allows us to control the state of an athlete," Lynn explains in the movie, which Dezeen produced for Nike.
The chair is designed for sports that involve intense bursts of exercise followed by short periods of rest, such as basketball where rolling substitutions can be made at any point throughout the game. For certain sports, where you go in and out, it's advantageous to build a little microclimate around a player," Lynn says.
