Bangladesh Chair
The country that will be affected by global warming the first is Bangladesh. It’s the country with the most risk, by 2050 50% of the people living their will need to migrate (national geographic).
Large parts of the country will become uninhabitable due to rising sea levels. The chair I will design will create awareness in the shape of usability. If a chair loses 50% of it’s essential surface, it’s hard to sit on it. Just like it’s hard to live in a country that loses 50% of it’s essential soil.
OPTIONS
Chair: A Rework of a classic but it’s missing 50% of it’s essential surface. Chair: A New design, designed to look like it’s missing a few pieces.

Bangladesh Chair
Almost 50% of the country will become uninhabitable due to rising sea levels. The chair I will design need to create awareness in the shape of usability. If a chair loses 50% of it’s essential surface, it’s hard to sit on it. Just like it’s hard to live in a country that loses 50% of it’s essential soil.
Chair: A Rework of a classic but it’s missing 50% of it’s essential surface. Chair: A New design, designed to look like it’s missing a few pieces.
Survey Chair For this chair I will collect data by letting people draw a chair. I will use the drawings to create a new chair. By using the average drawing or merging all the drawings to create some kind of intwined chair. It will contain the deformed aspect of a human drawing, which would make it interesting. Chair: use the data to create an average chair Chair: merge the data to create a branched chair
Gravity Chair
Dripping plaster into a chair mold from upside down. Creating a stalactite shape.
Grown Chair You sit in an installation that collects data and an algorithms grows a chair underneath you. it starts with your shoes en it grows to your neck, creating a chair that fit’s best for you.
Projected Chair A chair that is generated from silhouette data. It’s measures your silhouette and the chair is formed from te point data is collected en it creates surface underneath your body.
Murder/stab Chair A chair that collects data from murder data (shootings/stabbings). The chair is filled with holes/cuts and must look torn apart. Visualising this data must look shocking and make people aware of gun control in USA.
Space Chair Thonet 1924 chair reworked for in space. If Mars is colonised, chairs need to be adjusted to the different gravity and air over there. A rietveld has a certain tension in the seating. If the gravity is different the chair will sit different as well. I rework a chair that is comfortable in space.
Primark Chair This chair is more of a goof than a usable objects. It falls apart after one use. Due to a mechanism in the seat the legs will fall of if you stand up after sitting on it. We live in a throw away society. With this chair you exaggerate that.
Ergo Chair This chair is made out of a solid block. By sitting on it a scraping a few pieces away and repeating that you create the perfect chair.
Concentration Chair
By shocking yourself in the head with a few volts you’ll achieve bette concentration. This ‘electric chair’ is a chair that will keep you working.
Water injection Chair
The government recommends everyone to put grass in your garden instead of tiles. Because every year less and less soil is covered in grass the large amounts of rainwater can’t flow away. This garden chair acts as a funnel for your garden with tiles. you stick this chair in the ground and you inject the water in the ground.
Melted Chair
This chair must look like it’s melted. It must look like melting ice. Like Leonarde DiCaprio said: Global Warming is real. This chair should be comfortable but visually it needs to send a message.
Trump Chair
In this chair you’ll be completely isolated. It looks like some sort of hibernation device or cocoon.
Timer Chair This chair times how long you are sitting and suggests when to stand up.
Noise Chair
This is a normal chair but due to the smog in our air it’s construction is warped and distorted. It uses data from our own sky and it projects a year in the Netherlands and the amounts of smog we had.
Plaster Chair
By making the seat of your chair from plaster you can sit in it while it is drying to create the perfect fit.
Ozone chair
Very thin unstable chair.

Chair
Before I design my chair I’ll let a few of my favourite designers inspire me.
I try to focus more on individuals and their ideas than companies. As I am an individual myself, I can’t relate to companies, I look up to other individuals.
My inspiration mainly comes from ideas about things, not about new technologies. New technologies are temporary, ideas are timeless.
Raf Simons
“I never really have to sit at a desk thinking, ‘What should I do now?’ It doesn’t work like that for me, and it never has. My thinking process is constant.” - Raf Simons I need what Raf Simons has, constant motivation. It’s the foundation of all activities.
Dieter Rams
“Good design is making something intelligible and memorable. Great design is making something memorable and meaningful.” - Dieter Rams If you design like Dieter Rams, your designs aren’t bound to time anymore. You design for now, and for the future.
Rem Koolhaas
“That has been my entire life story, running against the current and running with the current. Sometimes running with the current is underestimated.” - Rem Koolhaas Rem Koolhaas is a controversial architect who isn’t afraid of going over the edge. He shaped the skyline of Rotterdam, by pulling through and putting criticism aside.
Charlie Kaufman
“So when I write characters and situations and relationships, I try to sort of utilize what I know about the world, limited as it is, and what I hear from my friends and see with my relatives”. - Charlie Kaufman Charlie Kaufman has great ideas about who you should be as a creative person. He inspires me with his ideas about being yourself and what that could mean for you.
Joris Laarman
“Industrial times and modernist pioneers were all about assembly and standardized parts in a geometric form language dictated by the limitations of industrial machines. In our digital era, however, we are no longer bound by these limitations.” - Joris Laarman Joris Laarman connects with scientists and pushes boundaries by investigating new techniques. This way in innovation inspires me.
Sean Booth
“I hate the idea of getting in a building that someone else has designed and having to do something to it yourself to sort of dress it up - it’s like using presets in your tracks.” - Sean Booth Sean Booth (Autechre) has some great ideas about what generative art is. He applies it in music but his ideas about generative/algorithmic art can be well applied to design. His method of experimenting is inspiring.
These artists together form an image of the designer who I like to be. The motivation of Raf Simons, so I can keep going. The ideas of Dieter Rams, so my designs are thoughtful and memorable. The courage of Rem Koolhaas, so I can cross a few boundaries. The identity of Charlie Kaufman, so I can be myself in my purest form, even if I don’t like that self. Joris Laarman and his innovation, so I can connect and innovate. And the courage to experiment like Sean Booth, even if people will hate me for that.
For this project I am going to apply these ideas in a chair. I want to make something pure, real, advised, on-the-edge, innovative and experimental.
