Office Chair as Skateboard

There are cases where office chairs are designed to be used as skateboards, and 'mobilité' is a product that combines a seat and a skateboard.

'mobilité' was designed collaboratively by Tim Defleur and Benjamin Helle. This product is ingeniously designed, with its skateboard part made of solid foam. This material offers a certain degree of elasticity and stability, providing users with a relatively smooth skating experience. At the same time, the outer layer is equipped with thick felt as padding. The thick felt not only enhances comfort during use, reducing the impact of vibrations caused by friction between the skateboard and the ground on the user, but also protects the skateboard to a certain extent, extending its service life.

The seat design of this product is also very clever. The backrest of the seat can move freely forward or backward. When using the seat function normally, the backrest can be adjusted to a suitable position to provide comfortable support for the user. When the user needs to move around in the office and wants to use it as a skateboard, they simply need to pull the skateboard backrest out of the slot on the seat surface and then jump onto the skateboard to glide freely, achieving a rapid transition from an office seat to a skateboard and meeting the user's need for convenient movement in an office setting.

In addition to the specific product 'mobilité', there is also a modular skateboard furniture series. Although this series mainly includes office desks, lamp ramps, conference tables, and benches, and does not directly involve the design of an office chair as a skateboard, it embodies the innovative concept of integrating skateboard elements into office furniture. This concept provides more room for imagination regarding the combination of office settings and skateboard elements. In the future, there may be more products similar to 'mobilité' that perfectly integrate the functions of an office chair and a skateboard, further enriching the design forms and functions of office furniture and bringing users a brand-new office experience.
