How Do You Make Lectures Better? Answer: Spaceship Chairs

A picture of 12 Steelcase Node chairs in a variety of colours.

Okay, perhaps you read this title and your first thought was “what the hell is she talking about?”

Well… if you have happened to take a look in the main building at university, a few of the rooms on the first floor are filled with the weirdest chairs in existence.

We here at Lincoln & That (well, probably just me) like to call them “spaceship chairs”.

They’re pretty snazzy actually (yeah that’s right, I said the word snazzy). They’re basically a version of the plastic school chair but at least two times more comfortable, with a plastic circle underneath to place your bag, an added cup or water holder (ooooh) and a move-able desk. They’re also on wheels, which cause you to want to spin around constantly like you did in Year 9 ICT.

So they may not sound amazing by description but if you’re left-handed like me, university desks for “lefties” are hard to come by. Also come on, just look at the photo below and tell me they aren’t cool.

The chairs are called Steelcase Node for anyone interested. My fellow writer Emily actually wrote down the brand of them in her notebook because she is incredibly sad.

Anyway, sadly I couldn’t find a picture of them with the cup holder (which is the MUST HAVE). What’s also crap is that our chairs are only in white… look at the colours we could have had. Imagine a rainbow room of them. Oooh pretty.

If you think I’m nuts right now for talking about chairs then take a group of 20 year olds into a room filled with them and you’ll understand what I mean.

Well, obviously you do of course.

So yeah, as it says in our wonderful title there. Mr I, Taystayness, or for short, Mr Tay, is a vegan tiger. Yes, you did read that right and your brain isn’t scrambled. He’s a tiger that doesn’t eat meat or any products from animals…
