英語短文："橡皮筋椅"創意無限
Industrial Design student Preston Moeller from America has created a rather unique chair himself using 65,000 colorful rubber bands.
來自美國的工業設計專業學生普雷斯頓-莫勒用65000根五顏六色的橡皮筋親手打造了一把奇特的椅子。
Inspired by a friend who suggested that he use office supplies to make something “truly unique”, Moeller, 26, spent 336 hours designing and building his one-of-a-kind office chair.
一位朋友建議26歲的莫勒用辦公用品創作出“真正別具一格”的東西，于是，在朋友的啟發下，莫勒花了336小時設計并制成了這把獨一無二的辦公椅。
The rubber band chair, with a wire frame hidden beneath the rubber bands to support, stands three feet tall and weighs 35lbs. It can support the weight of a grown adult and gives a bit of a bounce and flexibility when sat upon.
這把橡皮筋椅子高3英尺(約0.9米)，重35磅(約16公斤)，橡皮筋下面隱藏著用于支撐的椅架。它能承受一個成年人的重量，坐在上面還會有些許反彈的感覺。
On his personal website, Moeller reported that the chair was proving to be incredibly hardy. “I have been using it for the last couple months as my computer chair and it still looks as good as new”, he wrote.
莫勒在其個人網站上表示，事實證明這把椅子相當結實。他寫道：“過去幾個月以來我一直將它作為我的電腦椅使用，現在它還是嶄新如一。”
Moeller’s colorful creation earned him the $3,000 first prize in the Appalachian State University’s 6th Annual Chair Design Competition.
憑借這把色彩紛呈的椅子，莫勒贏得了阿巴拉契亞州立大學第六屆“椅子設計大賽”的一等獎，并因此獲得3000美元獎金。
The chair was even shown off during New York Design Week as part of the Industrial Designers Society of America’s booth.
這把椅子甚至還在紐約設計周期間進行展出，是美國工業設計師協會展位的一部分。
