Most of the time when I sit on a chair, I do one of three things: work on my MacBook, watch a video on my tablet or read a book. Of course there are many chairs that take care of all of these activities or all of these activities, but what if a chair also wants to be a bookmark for the reading material that you devour? Well, of course, it depends on how you feel like a marker for your book via furniture, but this is an interesting idea for a chair.
The verses 3D chair by Verse 3D by Liam de la Bedoyere is a convincing fusion of the functional design and poetic symbolism. This chair illustrates how additive production exceeds traditional furniture design and offers both ergonomic support and a narrative element. The verse chair has a gracefully curved seat for ergonomic comfort. Under the seat there is an unmistakable sharp structure that fulfills a double purpose: it offers structural support and acts as a clever bookmark and holds its place in a book as they pause. This thoughtful integration makes the chair not only a piece of furniture, but also a companion in storytelling.

The name “Verse” reflects both the layered, line by line type of 3D printing and the V-shaped shape of the chair. It is an allusion to the poetic inspiration behind its creation and embodies the idea of a verse in a poem and the physical layers that were built during the printing process. The design of the chair marries and works seamlessly. The minimalist aesthetics are accentuated by the clear lines and the interaction of curves and angles. The use of the 3D printing enables precise construction to ensure both stability and comfort. The sharp basis not only offers a unique visual attraction, but also increases the structural integrity of the chair.
While certain materials are not detailed, the 3D-printed nature of the chair indicates the use of permanent polymers, which are usually used in additive production. This method enables complicated constructions and efficient production that are geared towards sustainable practices by minimizing waste and enables the use of recyclable materials. This is proof of innovative design thinking in which functionality corresponds to storytelling. This concept not only offers a comfortable seating solution, but also enriches the experience of the user by integrating a literary element. It is a piece that invites the users to relax, relax and immerse themselves in their favorite stories, with the chair itself becoming part of the story.
