Final Design




My final concept and design where produced from the privies research I had conducted regarding movie, art and design.

I was mostly inspired from Robert Delaunay (Orphism), the bright colours he made use and the different shapes he created and contoured. Wassily Kandisky’s abstract painting also inspired me through the usage of shapes and colours, Bauhaus chair’s modern, simple designs and the movie four feathers. I also incorporated the shape of the playing cards in my design. I was able to do so, as in the movie I chose the soldiers who were on duty where protecting the queen and king’s land from the invaders.

The result achieved is a modern, sleek, decorative yet simple chair design. The creation of the chair was produced in such a form and way to show strength and importance from its size and length in a modernistic way.

Playing Card's Chair Concept




Another original concept I came up with is to design a vintage yet futuristic looking chair, yet still combining all studied components I wrote about in the blog. My final original idea is to use playing cards to form a chair. By combing the bright red’s found in the British army uniform in the movie the four feathers, metal looking wire representing tubes, print found in Bauhaus manufacturing chairs and using only the Jack and King cards I would be combining most of the features studied and written onto my blog.



Ergonomics of a Chair - Health and Safety



Ergonomic seating is vital for the human needs, as a chair should feature support and comfort. Doing so, the user will be able to sit in a balanced positionSome features are mandatory for a chair to be suitably comfortable and support certain weight:

Chair is to be suitable of all kinds of people meaning, the tallest, shortest users and the heaviest.

The design chair process in the making features an arm rest, enabling someone to rest better and comfortably, a curved backrest supporting to support the spine and combined metallic tubes for proper stability acting as its base. The design chair in process features a stable chair design ready for stationary work.
