Positive Inspiration

These chairs are the winning result of a design competition where the challenge was set to create a chair that Does Good, Feels Good, and Looks Good.
The design in the left is the Posi+ive Lounge Chair. The concept behind it is that a design simple enough to be made by folding a piece of paper, would be easy to produce in an industrial system. It is made by a single piece of bent plywood covered by a cushion of wool felt, and rests on a single bent round steel bar.
On the right is the Pandanus Chair, made from a cellulose-based plastic that is biodegradable, and can be produced through a low energy manufacturing process. This is an easy stackable design that can maximize space when shipping and storing.

From these results it is notorious that ergonomics and function produce beauty; and simplicity in design can lead to interesting results in which nothing else is needed to be added or taken away from it. This is a good example of the path I want to take on when creating my design. Also, the shape of both chairs is inspiring to work on by folding paper, cardboard, and X-board, to make interesting shapes for my own design.
