Charette 1 - Quick Ikea Chair exercises

Group brainstorm on problems with constructed IKEA chair
*coming soon*

Individual sketches

5 minutes were spent on coming up with ideas in which the problems above could be solved

Problem Resolution 1
- swivel chair - a problem identified was that there is restricted movement and it was more for small bodies, and a particular height, so this chair has a swivel option and wheels to move around and a lever to adjust the height of the chair so kids of different height can use it.Problem Resoltion 2
- one problem was that if someone were to move houses/apartment/etc, it would be a bit troublesome to disassemble, so this design has detachable legs and back and body. Also a slightly more interesting shape. Problem Resoltion 3
- Same as mentioned above, to make travelling easier , latches are opened and closed in the corners, to collapse and construct the chair. It can be carried as one panel/piece. The fabric might be a bit more comfortable for the user's butt as well. Problem Resolution 4
- detachable parts, for the backPhysio attachment - a product that can be purchased and attached to the chair, that will improve the comfort of the chair. Some parts of the chair back are uncomfortable and it is not ergonomically sound.

Back pieces are uncomfortable, so the pieces can be removed and cushion replace it. would have string to attach to the sides of the frame of the chair.

Slide on cover, for head support

Psycho-socio attachment - a product that can be attached to the chair that will allow the user to feel some connection to the chair, for example give it sentimental value, and give it some personality that could relate to the user

Fun for the child - pieces can be bought and attached to the legs of the chairs to add colour and personality to the chair.

For people who like fish....if they want to eat with their pets? if the user wants to watch the fish as they sit?
