THE PROCESS
Interview quick notes.
'Steelcase Buoy' at Knowledge Management Center in N.I.D lacks all the virtues my research brought fourth as desirable in a public place. However the furniture gave a bare basic foundation for concept development. ​​​​​​​
Concept design started with adding some privacy to the stool.
With a flip mechanism the backrest can be switched between elbow height and head height. The flipping also help to alternate the facing direction. Thus, a swap between Socio-petal configuration and Socio-fugal configuration is enabled. ​​​​​​​
Curiosity lead to inspection of airplane seating details. The combination of molded plastic, metal hardware/structure and fabric of aircraft seating inspired design detailing, visual language and to some extend choice of materials.
The form was simplified to ease fabrication. ​​​​​​​
First time assembly and design validation
