CHARETTE #1 : IKEA CHAIR REDESIGN

Our main aim from the redesign of the chair was to make a more comfortable seat with extended functions. for this reason we added the rounded front lip to support the back of the knees from a sharp edge and also a flush backrest to the frame. This eliminated the uncomfortable edges for the upper back.

We also felt that the seat needed to have a slight angle on it so that you sit into the chair and arent being forced off it, which will provide greater comfort. To solve this we designed attatchment feet made from rubber that not only raise the front of the seat and achieve a slight angle. but also stop the chair legs from scratching the floor.
As for function, we added an under seat storage system whereby the consumer can hide/store possible goods or memories had with the chair.
