a laser-cut chintz pattern as co-designable object

This chair is made from laser cut aluminium sandwiched between laser-cut thick felt. The gaps in the pattern allow the user to 'upholster' the chair, adorning it with anything they wish, or simply leaving it as it is. The boundaries between the 2D and 3D world are played with, as the pattern becomes the object itself.

The chair seeks to create a heightened sense of ownership by encouraging the user to participate in the design process. This ethos of co-design was at the heart of all the pieces produced for my degree show at Goldsmiths under the PlusYou concept.
