Stockholm 2010: at the Stockholm Furniture Fair this week Stockholm designer Shane Schneck exhibits a wooden chair that can be hung from the edge of a table by its cantilevered seat.
Called RU, the design for Danish brand Hay is made of cross-laminated wood.
The chairs have two main legs that branch into four feet at the bottom, meaning they can be stacked together or hooked over the edge of a table by the seat.

RU Chair
Is a wooden chair created upon the invitation from Patricia Urquiola for Promosedia. Its strength is gained by cross laminating layers in the seat. The method makes possible a cantelivered surface and robust structure.
A series of laminated ‘bridges’ complete the form. The chair is also stackable and without the additional two legs of conventional chairs it can be suspended on a table for easy cleaning.

“…a wooden chair that can be hung from the edge of a table by its cantilevered seat…”
Nice concept – where’s the proof? Although it looks lovely in ‘conference’ formation.

This not made for fat people, design and functionality, I think the desing should cut across.

Looks fantastic and quirky. The seat seems very short though. Is this only a prototype or will the chair actually be mass produced? Does anybody know how much it will cost?

I actually don’t mind when some designs don’t seat the 95%-ers. I enjoy the look and feel of slim furniture, and I don’t care if someone who weighs 350lbs can’t enjoy them too.
