A project of designer Guido Garotti, these series of chair designs will be presented at the New Designers in London on 8-10 July this year 2010.The chairs he designed aims to stimulate through their use, the desire to be kept. It was designed to have an emotional connection with the user.
The materials used for the chairs were specifically chosen because of their characteristics.
Oak wood was used for the seat because of how it ages beautifully, while the backrest is made from suede which displays traces of someone's touch. Each material offers a sense of connection both emotional and physical with the user. They embodies and make consistent the design intent of the designer.
The joining system was also designed to give the user room for interaction with the chairs. Placing adjustment points offer the user the choice to modify the general feel of the chair. This form of customization further emphasizes the designer's vision of making a bond between the user and the object through emotional connection.
Four chairs were designed but two have already been constructed and realized.
