Design
Use of Material

The Duo dubbed design duo Legrand Jäger came from the United States. The material they had was “Nettuno” in the color skin.

From Legrand Jäger:

Le Confident 
Facial Recognition Emotion (FER) software interface The Confident or head-to-head is an archetypal design object, originally from XIX century, that uniquely embodies communication. Often thought of as a seat for gossip, its sitters are uniquely located for intimate conversation. In Legrand Jäger’s recalibrated version of the seat, our culture of quantification and gamification informs the object’s design both stylistically and functionally. Based on a personal understanding of gaming seat consoles, a personal face recognition (FER) software interface between the conversation partners, emotional feedback, live monitoring, during their exchange. Only seven human emotions are universally identified by such devices, enough for efficient profiling according to specialists.  

A special thanks to IKSV and Hayung-Ok Park for production and Adjmal Sarwary from Mind Trace for customizing his emotion tracking software. – Website:  www.studiolegrandjager.com
