This chair might remind you of a certain <a href="https://youtu.be/2H5uWRjFsGc">Chumbawamba song</a>. Nothing's ever gonna keep it down. <a href="https://www.fortum.com/virenchair/">The Virén Chair</a> from Fortum uses design features and weight distribution to self-right itself. No matter which way it falls, it will roll into a position to reorient itself upright. The chair is named for Finnish distance runner <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasse_Vir%C3%A9n" alt="Lasse Virén" class="on">Lasse Virén</a>. At the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Virén fell during the 10,000 meter event, but got back up and not only won the race, but set a new world record!

The <a href="https://www.fortum.com/virenchair/">Virén Chair</a> is a marvel of engineering, but <a href="https://www.fortum.com/">Fortum</a> is not a furniture company. They develop sustainable products, such as the post-consumer recycled plastic the Virén Chair is composed of, Fortum Circo® recycled plastic. As of now, the Virén Chair is not on the market, but is a proof-of-concept built to showcase the material. But who knows? You might be able to get one in the future. -via <a href="https://www.homecrux.com/fortum-viren-chair-self-standing-recycled-plastic-chair/167310/">Homecrux</a>&nbsp;#chair #selfrightingchair #recycledplastic #LasseViren
