Throne design

  • Unique, singular chair
  • Raised above floor level
  • Ceremonial purpose

Maybe in order to humiliate the person intended to sit on it, a series of identical thrones should me made? An anti-thesis to the definition of a throne.

Who am I designing for?

Technolords are out of reach. I cannot interact with them – maybe it would be more interesting to design for people enabling the technolords or just general public – in order to remind them about their political power?

Fragment of an essay “Silicon Valley’s Worldview Is Not Just an Ideology; It’s a Personality Disorder” by Maria Farell
Idea: Providing general public with instructions how to make a throne themselves.

Framework

This semester I would like to learn working with metal.

Another way of humiliation would be to create a throne from an everyday object.

Next step: visiting Altmetall
