Shaku chairs
winning entry for seating design competition
This group* project was the winning entry of a competition organized within my undergraduate department. Focused on recycling, the goal was to design seats for 300 people for the JapanJuppun open air cinematic experience. Using Japanese measurement (shaku) and a roll of recycled material, we designed squared units that could be assembled together in order to create different-shaped seats‌
Light and comfortable, these fiberglass chairs were easily stackable for the public to move around freely. The event was hosted by the Japanese embassy in the Rootstein Hopkins Parade Ground (Chelsea College of Art & Design).
