Rest- Erika Guldner

How is the assigned activity interpreted?

In my project rest is defined as the literal stoppage of motion.  To create this effect in a chair I thought of inflatable pieces that would surround the person sitting in the chair in a comfortable manner.  These pieces would cushion the body by filling the empty spaces between the chair and the body.  Doing this will restrict motion but in a non threatening way.  Like a warm embrace the chair will hug the person sitting in it.

folding methods research

The folding part of my chair are the inflatable pieces.  Its function is to stop the movement of the person sitting on it.

Persona

This chair is of value to the user because it works as a normal chair but it can also be used to encapsulate the user in a restful state.

Aesthetics

The chair is a semi circular form emulating the moon it is suppose to look sleek so the technology of the inflatable parts fit the look of the chair.
