Interlux Chair, designed in 2002

Interlux chair by Manfred Kielnhofer

Interlux chair literally lights up the room.

Reminiscent of American minimalist artist Dan Flavin’s fluorescent
light sculptures, this unique chair literally lights up the room.
Manfred Kielnhofer plays with fluorescent light and transparent tubes
that change colour creating an out of this world atmosphere. The chair
is a composition of unique long neon lighting contained in transparent
tubes placed horizontally; a surprise of what one can do with
commercially available fluorescent light fixtures. Also available in
environmentally friendly paper tubes.
