Unique Properties: The gentle, delicate spirit of children, along with adults need for functionality, were considered in designing this chair. That both children and adults can use this chair is an advantage that helps overcome both space limitations and the scarcity of materials.
Tags: Multifunctional, Chair, Family, Wooden, Familial
Production Technology: Wood
Design Challenge: The primary challenge was to design an ergonomic chair by identifying the ideal geometry and then fine-tuning the angles to achieve functionality. The dual objectives of aesthetics (beauty) and performance (function) were served by creating a novel design that balances between the two.
Inspiration: Living in crowded cities has made living spaces smaller. Designers can benefit everyone by designing multi-purpose devices for these smaller spaces. There is no age limitation for using this chair, both children and adults can comfortably use this chair.
Project Duration: The project was began and completed in April 2022 in Tehran, Iran.
Operation Flow: If the chair’s configuration needs to be changed, all that is needed is a simple motion to turn over and convert the chair. The users of the chair will appreciate its user friendliness and its ease of use.
