Ross Lovegrove designed the PolarisGo chair by integrating shockwave data from the Polaris Dawn space mission, employing magnesium within an aerospace-grade aluminum alloy for a lighter design. Collaborating with CreativeWorkStudios, Lovegrove translated mission data into physical chair attributes such as ripples that symbolize the launch shock waves, honoring the four astronauts through laser-etched names. The chair is part of prestigious collections including Paris's Centre Pompidou and is noted for its 30 percent weight reduction, emphasizing both functional and aesthetic design rooted in space exploration.
"I have taken this data and translated it into a frequency that is passed through the frame of the GO Chair creating four distinct polarized focus points in each corner of the seat."
"The entire development program is then undertaken in Nurnberg. It results in a chair with a 30 percent reduction in its specific weight."
