This just might be the perfect chair design for holiday parties, where guests chow down and stress joinery under an excessive load. Made by Max Dean, Raffaello D'Andrea, and Matt Donovan, the robotic chair is a whimsical take on a woodworker's dream: a piece of furniture that can put itself back together after a catastrophic failure. Toward the end of the video you can see some close-ups of the inner workings, so stick with it.
