Inspiration for This Work

BRIEF: design a chair using recycled materials.

Chairldren II is a redesign of a school chair into one that is more supportive and promotes better posture.

The current school chair designs do not support the growing body in positive and effective ways leading children into habits of bad posture and consequent back issues. This design reforms the polypropylene by grinding and remoulding it into a saddle stool that allows the user to interact with the chair in multiple ways. The design naturally tilts the pelvis forward and elevates the back from a slouching position. It also pulls apart to become a balancing board or a cushion to aid sitting on the ground. The existing legs of the original chair are reused in the design.

Student Biography

Born and bred in Sydney, Lucy Hall has grown up surrounded by the arts. Now at the end of 4 years in a Bachelor of Design majoring in object/applied and environments, these worlds have collided to create a practitioner focused on exciting change and shifting mentality through the use of design and art. Her practice has developed into one primarily focused on environmental design and sustainability and how design can aid the wider public to reconnect with their surroundings and embrace new ideas for the future.
