Liaison Chair

Stella Messina

This project wants to encourage socialization between people starting with the little ones.
It is a seat characterized by the presence of three legs and a hole that replaces the fourth, one of these protrudes allowing it to be interlocked in the hole, allowing stability through the union of several chairs. The backrest is inclined to ensure greater comfort and has holes that recall the main feature of the object.

 

The structure provides the standard measures of a normal chair except for the seat which has a width of 70 cm and a depth of 40 cm, which allows you to combine the structural characteristics designed for it with comfort.
The other measures of the chair are: the three legs 65 cm long, the backrest 25 cm high and the piston that allows the chairs to be fitted together, representing the fourth leg of each chair, a height of 95 cm. Thanks to this last element that unites the chairs, it is possible to adjust the distances and the orientation between them. This opportunity allows an important implication in the practical implications of the project. In fact, it grants the young users of these chairs full freedom of movement, which is an element that favors a significant socialization among peers.

 

The philosophy behind the project is the idea that a single chair is not functional. In fact, the joint between at least two chairs is necessary to allow them to play their role. The point to underline is precisely this: the more children sit next to each other, the more chairs are needed and the more functional and comfortable they become at the same time.


Another purpose pursued by this object is the education of children in environmental sustainability, given that a fundamental element of the chair is the use of a recycled material, specifically plastic, for its realization.

COMMENTS

Excellent proposal and definitions. Impeccable writing in which it is not only possible to visualize the seriousness of the problem, but also offers the possibility of being a protagonist by actively participating in a subject as sensitive as ion consciousness and the indissoluble relationship between human beings and different ecosystems.
