Ritual:Routine of Selfie

I found the shape of all design language model is like architectures that always attract visitors to selfie in front of them. Selfie could show their own personality and view of the object, however there is more and more people focus on how to make some part of body looks better and share the same tutorial of pose.The ritual of this project is criticizing the routine of selfie.

Research about Selfie:

There is a artist called Dito Von Tease turned some famous oil painting into selfies to warn. He calls this series “Classicool”.These work describe how selfie become popular now and the artist made a crack that people always holding phones.It seems the most perfect angle to show the most welcome face now.Everybody use this angle to photo when selfie started to become popular.However, the picture of face with 45 degree is different from the daily life face.

This is a chair could adjust the body position by the tight clothes on chair.

I collage it with another material.Each lint hand could be put down easily and rised up hard because of the stress.

The structure inside lint hands should be hard. I think wood is a good choice.

Chair Back Part：

I thought selfie in public area is an embarrassed thing.Just like the 2017 Oscars Awards.So, i design some cover on top of chairs to cover faces or whole body to avoid embarrassment.

Small chair models: This is a chair which could control shoulder position. For the mouth part, i did a research about dentists' tools.It could pull mouthes to any angles.

Ideas about final chair:

I research about seating position and regular selfie pose on chair.I decided to do some block to fit the body in.So, the people who selfie on this chair could just have one movement because of the shape of chair.

The last pose is the most popular position and the most suitable to express on the IVAR chair.

Final chair drawing:

The leather on 1:1 model is so soft that could not shape the head part.We need the leather hood hang over the chair.

So, we go to a leather workshop in north London for high qulity leather.

Final model making:

We use a lot of new machine on the leather part.Like leather line cutter, pins for bags. The leather on final chair is more stable.The shape is fixed even if it is placed on a table.

The wood part of final models is the main structure of the chair.We reinforce the angle chair from two sides to make the pathway for leather hood.There are also two blocks on it to make users have all the same action when they are selfieing on this chair.The wood block need to be sanded from a cuboid.After finishing the structure, we add on all leather part .

Final Chair: SELFEAR

The location of chair is beside the Thames river. There are always lots of tourists selfie here.The SELFEAR chair could be placed at every tourist attractions
