my mothers lap

For my first “interior product” assignment I had to design a chair.

First we had to choose the material, the type of chair we want to make and what fascination or inspiration we wanted to use in the design. Then we had to make a 1:1 sketch of the chair which shows how the chair is about to look like or feel.

Then we had to make a prototype.

I chose to make a rocking chair from wood with a fascination for soft textiles. I wanted to make a chair that almost feels as nice as sitting on your mothers lap. It had to be soft, body adjustable and it had to rock. I made my 1:1 sketch out of steel because that was quicker and a easy way to look if the form I was imagining would work as I wanted it to.

At the moment I am busy with making the prototype, but I still have to make a couple of changes about the under construction.
