Automaker Nissan, which sponsors teams FaZe Clan and OpTic Gaming, has revealed a series of gaming chair concept sketches inspired by three of its cars.
The Nissan GT-R Nismo, Armada, and LEAF gaming chair concepts offer a look at how the car company could apply its expertise in vehicle seat design to chairs for esports athletes. Each concept chair features aesthetic elements from its respective car model inspiration.
“Esports players spend hours perfecting their skills, and gaming rigs are an essential part of each player’s identity,” reads Nissan’s release. “However, esports players often have to choose between aesthetics and comfort—but Nissan’s chairs could offer both. With decades of experience in seating design and comfort, Nissan’s three conceptual designs are sure to pique the interest of gamers across the globe.”
Nissan shared the images today via Twitter, and asked users to vote on which chair concept they’d like to see made. Currently, Nissan has no plans to produce any of the proposed chair designs, but a representative told The Esports Observer that the company “will gauge public reaction and move forward with production based on social media feedback and public reaction.”
