The Playa Crawler: A Kinetic Walking Chair for Burning Man

In 2017, engineer Mark Ellis designed an innovative kinetic chair called The Playa Crawler to navigate the vast expanse of Burning Man. Inspired by the Strandbeest sculptures of Dutch artist Theo Jansen, this unique chair is specifically crafted to withstand the alkaline terrain of the Black Rock Desert.

Mark Ellis wanted a personal vehicle that was both functional and original for getting around Burning Man. This led him to create a chair that walks using a system of articulated legs. This mechanism, invented by Theo Jansen, allows the chair to move similarly to Jansen's giant sculptures, which are propelled by the wind along the beaches.

Built from laser-cut aluminum and steel, The Playa Crawler is equipped with two electric wheelchair motors, batteries, and is controlled via a wheelchair joystick.

Unknown, Chokwe Royal chair 19th or early 20th century Chairs decorated with representational scenes were considered the most important insignia of Chokwe rulers well into the 20th century. They were modeled after European chairs that can be associated with Portuguese and Afro-Portuguese merchants. In Africa seats generally are exceedingly symbolic in significance. The fact that this form was taken over from traders illustrates the equal standing Chokwe rulers felt in their trade relations. Genre scenes are also unusual in the art of the region and can probably be attributed to European influence.
