Chair Questions


How is the Assigned Activity Interpreted?

In my project learning is defined as gaining knowledge through observation, study, experience or being taught.  The users of this chair will be students in elementary schools K-3.  This chair will allow students to learn in the typical classroom setting.

Folding Methods Research

The chair I plan to create will be easy to use and allow for the greatest amount of flexibility in the classroom because I intend to create a chair that folds completely flat.  This allows for easy storage and flexibility in a classroom where teachers teaching this audience need to be able to rearrange easily and move things easily to create a dynamic learning environment.  And can still function as cushioning when students sit on the floor as well.

Persona (Phase 1)

This chair is of value to the user because it provides more seating options than the typical chair in a classroom setting.  It also completely folds up into a flat piece of furniture teaching the students construction methods and allowing the greatest amount of classroom flexibility for other activates that require more space.

Aesthetics

The scheme for my chair looks the way it does because of the way it folds into a flat piece, the aesthetics are simple and geometric, similar to chairs in most classroom settings geared towards young children.

  1. I really like how your chair can fold flat into a cushion and how it is flexible in their classroom environment. I think it is a great idea and i think you thought everything throughly from what your are targeting to who your targeting and how. In your blog you said how the chair provides flexibility in the classroom setting. I was wondering if the chair itself is also flexible to incorporate your idea of flexibilty in the classroom. I was also wondering if the teacher will also be using the same chair as the students while teaching and if the teacher is sitting on a different kind of chair how will the students interact with their teacher in those different chairs, like the difference in the height or their position.
