Taiwanese designer Yu-Ying Wu has created this Tofu-shaped breathing chair, which as Wu said is originally designed to provide a more comfortable sitting for elderly people. The chair is square cube when it is not occupied and it will compress into an armchair when a person sits on it and spring back into a cube when the person stands up.

The chair has won home furniture design concept award in the international “red dot design award” design competition. According to news report in Taiwan, a France company is planning to commercialize the product.

The “breathing chair” looks like a piece of white, square tofu. Wu said that the chair is made of high-density foam plastic that is 100 percent environmentally-friendly. There is a “trick” behind the design of various sizes of holes in the chair – based on professional calculation of the spatial structure, the tofu-shaped chair, coated with three layers of foamed plastic, can “automatically adjust” according to the weight and posture of the person sitting on it.

Here is another interesting gadget, an Equalizer Music Hat that not only brings you music and also warm your ears and even react to the music you are listening. The Music Hat comes with a pair of sound reactive blue luminescent displays. As your music plays, the displays light up EQ style with the beat. The bars react to the volume of the music, lighting up more bars for louder music and fewer bars for quieter bits (turning your Metallica albums into something of a light show, no doubt).

The Equalizer Music Hat uses 3.5mm audio connector and needs two CR2032 batteries to work. It is priced at GBP19.99.
