Todays studio class involved us forming groups and putting together a chair which we then had to design accessories for. All of our ideas, drawings culminated into designing one useful accessory that will personalise and prolong the attachment/use of the chair.
These were the initial concepts i came up with to give the chair an individual feel to it.
headrest: physio-attachment. functions as a headrest
storage under the seat: could be physio or psycho/socio-attachment. By using it as a purely functional or the objects placed underneath could be significant to the user and act as some type of emotional attachment.
painted layers: psycho/socio-attachment. having layered paints randomly painted onto the chair and with the normal wear and tear over time, the scratches will reveal a different story every time one is made. this gives it that added personalisation.
interchangeable components: physio-attachment. the user can choose different backrests, seat covers, etc
leather seat cover: physio/psycho/socio-attachment. the leather will give added value over time. ages with dignity
different seat covers: physio-attachment. same as above just cushioned or pin cushioned. could be marketed towards the younger or yoga market that like sitting on nails, etc.
users choice: psycho/socio-attachment. something a bit abstract. the user can get the option before even purchasing their seats by choosing what tree will be cut down to make them. added value to what their buying. it'll be more worth keeping since they had more of choice in the materials.
rubber leg socks: physio-attachment. gives the chair added stability. more appealing to look at perhaps. makes it look fun
