Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Every creation is unique, every thought and vision in designer's head is unique and the ability to show this to the world ... i cannot describe it. I do not claim that my design wil change the world, it is just a chair, but if i can make someone feel joy of seeing and using it i will be happy :-)
- Inspiration
- Desire is a chair which have the purpose to increase your passion and lust with its smooth shape and soft color. It is not for people looking for relax, its a chair for naughty people searching pleasure for all senses. The original color which will be dedicated to this product is pink, but variations are possible
- Research
- The original idea was to create a 'liquified' form similar to a tear, later i decided to change the shape in order to be more comfortable
- Challenge
- The hardest part was the balance between design and ergonomics.
- Realization and Technology
- When i close my eyes i see the chair made of solid shiny plastic, but maybe it could be manufactured using patent leather and soft material inside
- Project Duration and Location
- Project started january 2013 and finished march 2013 but i think it could be more optimized
- Keywords
- desire, chair, purple, shiny, plastic
