The Design

About Children Papers Chair Zeichenstuhl

Der Children Papers Chair denkt die Erfahrung des Zeichnens neu. Es erzählt eine Geschichte über den umfangreichen Einsatz von Papier. Das Kind setzt sich auf die Papierrolle und beginnt zu zeichnen. Wenn sich die Zeichnung ausdehnt, kann sie auf den hinteren Zylinder gerollt werden, der alle Zeichnungen speichert. Die Rückenlehne ist aus Massivholz mit weißer Lackierung gefertigt. Die Papierrollen werden durch ein Metall-Resort-System an Ort und Stelle gehalten, das die Papierrollenbewegung ermöglicht. Es kann von Kindern im Alter zwischen drei und acht Jahren genutzt werden. Es können Zeichnungen auf 400 Metern Papier gespeichert werden.

Unique Properties
The Children Papers Chair rethinks the experience of drawing. It becomes much more than a functional and decorative chair in the playroom, it becomes a memory collection device. It can be used by kids between the ages of three to eight. It can store their drawings on 400 meters of paper for a period of approximately five years.
The kids can use the chair standing facing the back support using it as a drawing board or the other way around, just drawing on the paper roll. The chair becomes a fun and interactive space in it's self.
Dimensions & Packaging
Paper roll size diam. 370 mm
Back support 650*380*15 mm

Production Technology
The back support is executed in solid wood with a white lacquer.
The paper rolls are held in place by a metal resort system that makes the paper rolling movement possible. The metal arms that hold the rolls have the length of 380 mm.
The first roll holds the dimension of 370 mm and the second depending on how much it was been drawn on.
Design Challenge
The research challenge was finding a way to store the drawings that kids make in their childhood without losing them.
The creative design challenge was to designate the movement of the paper roll.
Research
The design gains depth from interacting with children and the parents desire to collect all the memories.
On a daily basis the child draws a lot and that leaves an impressive amount of drawings that probably will be thrown out. The chair is a response to that sad end.
Inspiration
The Children Papers Chair was originally part of Storytelling Furniture, which documents subjects of daily life. The inspiration steams from a toilet roll, and the chair tells a story about our extensive use of paper.
Project Duration
The project was developed in Copenhagen and is currently exhibited within The Nordic Embassies in Berlin and after at the Victoria & Albert Museum of Childhood, London 2018.
Operation Flow
The child takes a seat on the paper roll and begins to draw. As the drawing extends in can be rolled on the back cylinder that will store all the drawings.
