Lap Top Chair
I designed this chair for the school of multi media. At this school is the use of lap tops very important to all students. Student working on their computers everywhere at all times, in the lectures, at the tutorials and of course before, in between and after them. Lecture theatres, tutorial rooms and boardrooms usually have chairs and tables but in the circulation spaces is it more often benches or couches. So I wanted to create a chair which had a table attached to it, which should be placed in these corridor and circulation spaces. So the idea of a lap top chair was born. I named it Lap Top Chair since that is its main function but it is also suitable as a coffee chair-table or to sit and write in your notebook or calendar etc. In the front of the chair, underneath the table it is a pocket where you can put away your work, computer or magazine while doing something else. The Chair can be seated in a variety of ways. Either you can just sit with a leg on each side facing the table, or you can have both of your legs on one side in many different ways.
I wanted the design of this chair to be minimalistic and functional. The form to be simple and plain to fit the concept of my building. The contours of my lap top chair and its relationship to the building is shown in the poster. In the schools gallery space, which is open from floor to ceiling, is there different rooms boxing in and out on the three upper levels. This irregular but angular form has shaped the contour of the chair, when it is seen from the side.
This chair is made out of seven pieces which all has been jointed together by finger joints. By making it this way have I done it possible to create a sturdy chair without any use of glue, screws or other “join-together-things”. ; )
At least I will just say that I am happy and satisfied with the result. The lap top chair turned out to be as I wanted it to. And it was very exciting to see all other furniture, well done everyone!
