This fun Nissan stunt from last year just won a Pencil at The One Show—by inventing self-parking office chairs.

A video from the campaign, created with agency Birdman, features the chairs, starting in various configurations of disarray, automatically rolling over to desks and tables, where they tuck themselves neatly into place—all at the command of a clap.

It promoted the automaker’s parking assist technology, which lets nervous drivers slide into spots with the help of an array of cameras and automatic steering.

A ridiculously satisfying little gimmick (especially for viewers who like a tidy scene), the self-parking chairs are, sadly, not a real product.
