As a team we will explore precedents in chair design. In the first class we studied the classification of chairs. We looked into classified over 200 chairs into the following categories:

Folded, Molded, Classic, Woven, Aggregated, Piece Meal (Multiple Pieces), Simple Structure, Creative, Weird, Anticipates user to sit a specific way, User allowed to choose how to sit in, curves, Laminated, Smooth, Well used space, Upholstered, Natural, Transformative, Nesting, and Movement

This week for our homework, we will further explore our favorite chairs to learn about how they are put together, how they work with materials, and what ideas we can learn from them to inspire our own designs next week.
