Link: Color changing OLED Chair art project

Our article on Takahiro Matsuo's Color Changing Chair was referred by OLED-Inof.com as "Color changing OLED Chair art project" with a video of the project.

Artist Takahiro Matsuo designed a color changing "OLED Chair" art project which uses Verbatim's Velve color-tunable OLED panels.
