Sylki, Pod Design

Ergonomic indentations and a humanitarian bent make for a sustainable seat.


Molded for ergonomics from recycled metal, Sylki from designer Brooks Atwood’s Brooklyn-based studio Pod Design also touts a humanitarian bent: Twenty percent of each sale will go to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. The chair’s indentations and laser-cut perforations distribute seating loads among a user’s joints. And at 4 lbs., the chair weighs less than a (full) bottle of wine. pod-design.com
