Design Brief/Problem Statement
Main ideas:
My main focus is to design a lounge chair with a footstool to increase comfort.
I am inspired by gothic architecture and motifs. I want to adapt these characteristics to
my lounge chair such as pointed arches and ornate decoration.
I might add these characteristics to the legs of my chair and the details of the motifs
might be on the framings.
I want to create a lounge chair the suits to todays sociality. Since COVID-19 happened,
most people are working at home and some will probably stay home even after the
pandemic.
My chair will focus on comfort as well as the traditional aesthetic of the gothic style.
I’m focusing on designing a chair that will suit appropriately in the living room.
