Sonic Bed Project

London artist Kaffee Matthews designs furniture with feeling. Her Sonic Bed, which has been presented in London and Shanghai, allows one or more museum goers to recline in an enclosed space and experience music and sounds. Sometimes the artist is even on hand to change the settings herself. Matthews has also created Sonic Armchairs along the same lines - one was commissioned for an exhibition called Don't Worry at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. Matthews works with a group called Music for Bodies. Their mission, according to their website, is to "make new 3D music and physical interfaces for enjoying it directly through your body rather than just your ears." Sounds good, feels good.
