Nissan shows its ideas for concept chairs for esports gamers

September 12 was ‘National Videogames Day’ in the USA and it’s been an annual event for a while. A guy named David Earle is said to have started the day in the early 1990s. There is confusion about the actual date as there is another date which is July 8.

Anyway, this year, Nissan celebrated ‘National Videogames Day‘ on September 12 with concept esports gaming chair sketches inspired by the Armada SUV, GT-R NISMO sportscar and all-electric Nissan LEAF.

With videogaming and esports now some of the fastest-growing activities on the planet, Nissan has invested in the trend. Earlier this year, the automaker inked partnerships with two of the most popular gaming teams in the world, Faze Clan and OpTic Gaming.

Esports players spend hours perfecting their skills, and gaming rigs are an essential part of each player’s identity. However, esports players often have to choose between aesthetics and comfort – but Nissan’s chairs could offer both. With decades of experience in seating comfort and design (with notable innovations like the Zero Gravity Seat found on many Nissan vehicles), these three conceptual designs are sure to draw the interest of gamers across the globe.

Nissan concept chairs for gamers — **Nissan GT-R NISMO**: Inspired by Nissan’s most iconic vehicle, this seat is constructed from lightweight carbonfibre and aluminium. Shaped like a racing seat for ultimate performance, it features red leather and synthetic suede seating surfaces.

Nissan's ultimate esports gaming chairs — **Nissan Armada**: Inspired by Nissan’s full-size rugged but refined SUV, this seat is finished with Platinum Reserve black and brown leather upholstery and configured as a Captain’s Chair. It has climate-control (heating and cooling) so the player will stay comfortable for long hours. Lumbar support will also help keep fatigue away and maintain alertness.

Nissan's ultimate esports gaming chairs - LEAF-source — **Nissan LEAF**: This seat is inspired by the world’s best-selling electric vehicle and it has Gun Metal painted surfaces. The leather upholstery is light gray with electric blue inserts. USB charging ports are integrated in the frame for supplementary power and integrated leg rests help to reduce the strain on the lower body.

Currently, Nissan has no plans to build any of the chairs – it’s not in that business. But maybe some specialist in such products might be interested to team up and manufacture them. Wouldn’t you want one in your room?
