  Industrial Design student Preston Moeller from America has created a rather unique chair himself using 65,000 colorful rubber bands.

  来自美国的工业设计专业学生普雷斯顿-莫勒用65000根五颜六色的橡皮筋亲手打造了一把奇特的椅子。

  Inspired by a friend who suggested that he use office supplies to make something “truly unique”, Moeller, 26, spent 336 hours designing and building his one-of-a-kind office chair.

  一位朋友建议26岁的莫勒用办公用品创作出“真正别具一格”的东西,于是,在朋友的启发下,莫勒花了336小时设计并制成了这把独一无二的办公椅。

  The rubber band chair, with a wire frame hidden beneath the rubber bands to support, stands three feet tall and weighs 35lbs. It can support the weight of a grown adult and gives a bit of a bounce and flexibility when sat upon.

  这把橡皮筋椅子高3英尺(约0.9米),重35磅(约16公斤),橡皮筋下面隐藏着用于支撑的椅架。它能承受一个成年人的重量,坐在上面还会有些许反弹的感觉。

  On his personal website, Moeller reported that the chair was proving to be incredibly hardy. “I have been using it for the last couple months as my computer chair and it still looks as good as new”, he wrote.

  莫勒在其个人网站上表示,事实证明这把椅子相当结实。他写道:“过去几个月以来我一直将它作为我的电脑椅使用,现在它还是崭新如一。”

  Moeller’s colorful creation earned him the $3,000 first prize in the Appalachian State University’s 6th Annual Chair Design Competition.

  凭借这把色彩纷呈的椅子,莫勒赢得了阿巴拉契亚州立大学第六届“椅子设计大赛”的一等奖,并因此获得3000美元奖金。

  The chair was even shown off during New York Design Week as part of the Industrial Designers Society of America’s booth.

  这把椅子甚至还在纽约设计周期间进行展出,是美国工业设计师协会展位的一部分。
