In our aligned groups we were asked by our tutor to close our eyes and draw and redraw the comfiest chair we have ever sat on. I took inspiration from my old house and the old corner chair in the living room and started scribbling. Its long narrow back and extremely comfy plush cushions always left me in awe as I was growing up, and when I sat on it, I was the Queen herself. You might think this is blasphemy, but I really was.
Certainly the peculiar shape was a little difficult to grasp with my eyes closed as it wasn't a basic standard block chair, but it left for a giggle when I opened my eyes. The end result I actually quite liked, as it gave me an insight to experimenting with the lines and "breaking the rules" a little in my eyes, as I'd never created anything like this before.
Next we were asked to make a 3D product design of the chair using materials we could find around the room, I found this a little difficult but struggled on and was left with a cute little chair made of card and glue with a little pink cushion resting on it, I even managed to make it stand! A quite enjoyable task, once I got into it and let my creativity live a little.
