Shota Urasaki’s Award Winning Cloud Chair Japanese artist Shota Urasaki’s fascination with the sky, along with her creativity and artistry, has landed her the Gold A’ Design Award at the A’ Design Award & Competition. Urasaki designed a cloud chair, which came up after the artist saw a moving cloud while it rained on the coast of Okinawa, Japan, where she lived.The chair is designed to mimic a cloud raining down. The seating surface is white, fluffy and cloud-like. It is made by piercing polyester fiber into the polyurethane foam with a needle. Meanwhile, the legs of the chair, which are made of stainless steel, depict the water droplets that fall as rain. The chair’s structure gives whoever sits on the chair the illusion of floating.
