chair mock DESIGNED BY ADAM PATRICK EASTER COTTINGHAM
“...durable, mobile and flexible oversized communal seating that is easy to install and dismantle.” The ChairMock concept was born out of the oversize lounge chairs built for the first and second term of the Teen Art Park project. The final design builds on the feedback garnered from the teens and the other stakeholders with the idea being to replicate the features that worked from the early design iterations and accentuate them as much as possible in the new design. Durability and mobility are the two main issues that are addressed by ChairMock. By using all steel parts for the frame and a net material for the seat that can be easily replaced (like a basketball net), the usability over time will greatly increase. The entire chair can be disassembled and reassembled with simple tools as the majority of components are “off the shelf”. The addition of locking wheels at the base allows the chair to be mobile or stationary, as theuser prefers. Further personalization can be achieved by using the DIY panel inserts that are easily attached with zip ties. The entire ChairMock can be flatpacked for easy shipping, transportation and assembly.
