The FAMOUSly known eero saarinen - the womb chair . They went throuhgh several ideations of the chair to land the right one. this particular CHAIR design came from the orIGINAL prototype, where the legs were shaped as SUCH, instead of the improved legs we recognize it by today.
the idea of mixing the old with a new but irregular style while still playing tribute to its ORIGINAL form is how this little blue chair was born.
“RAW BLUE” Was created with oven clay. The color PALETTE was SPECIFICALLY chosen with a muted gray background, which was INTENDED to make the blue even more EYE-CATCHING. Then, the next thought was, what is a model without showing scale or in this case, a chair without a person? the idea came to add a mannequin as an artistic muse.
The primise of this course was to guide us through the eRAS OF DESIGN while exploring many of its HISTORIC BUILDINGS and furniture ALONG THE WAY.
That one time… in MODERN FURNITURE CLASS
a fun CHALLENGE was BEING ABLE TO create BY HAND which UNLOCKED A CREATIVE SPARK, THE ONE WHERE YOU JUST DO AND NOT CARE ABOUT THE OUTCOME.
