Chair design
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This thesis reconsiders chair design not as a commercial practice, but as a meaningful response to the design problem that almost all everyday objects are designed solely as practical tools. Drawing from phenomenological theory, which distinguishes between reality and perception, this study introduces the idea of designing chairs that subtly challenge the functionalist view of human life. It explores how chairs can be designed to evoke not only utility but also richer, non-mundane experiences such as memory, emotion, and playfulness.
