Forgotten chairs was my 3rd year project that involved using sensors and media to create a forgotten object and ‘restore’ it to working order. The brief was set to research a lost media, a chair and an ‘ing’ chair. Myself and my partner fell into the era of the late 50’s and created the ‘Home Vewing Chair’ which allowed a family to rent the chair and view movies that were available in theaters at the time. The chair was like Blockbuster but 1950’s style.
We had to craft the entire experience, from finding the right chair, buttons and knobs to researching the correct graphic design, photography and documentary styles from the time period.
We were also asked to produce a ‘1 great image’ which depicted the chair in use which can be seen at the top left. That image is now used as a brand image for my course.
