Chair collection in education

In the course ‘Imaging and Communcation (Form Study)’, part of the minor ‘House of the Future’, students designed  a chair or table. First step in this process was analysing some existing design classics. These design classics are part of the chair collection of the faculty of Architecture. A rich variation of characteristics has been one of the main criteria while putting this selection together. Form, material and joinery techniques are important themes. After choosing and analysing a chair, students use their findings to kick-start their own design process. Further development of the design will be done using sketches and models. At the end of the module students will present their unique design with a 1:3 model and additional presentation material.
