First Thoughts; Rethinking Form + Function of a Chair
01 Chair
-noun 1 a separate seat for one person, typically with a back and four legs
- I want to do something which isn't typical... go against the 'back and four legs'
- If i had never seen a chair before and was given this definition, how would I imagine it...
- A chair is most significant when there is someone in it. What purpose does it serve if there is no-one to sit in it?
- Can improve the body; posture, strength, mobility, status
- Has personified parts... Back, arms, legs, feet... Why? Literalise?
- Is physically for supporting a body... Give different kind of support? Emotional?
- Chair with no legs? Lots of legs? Unnecessary legs... Over the top decoration
- Could it incorporate something else? Technology
- Why a 'separate' seat? Separate from what?
- Conform to desires... Are becoming more about laziness. Go opposite?
