… filing down final shapes
by trying out & anaylising sittable PT3
What seating shape works best for the choreography?
What designed condition could contribute to the shared experience?
What do we want people to feel when they first look at it & once sat?
Asking users for feedback…
- proximity&hight are right
- backlean was not asked for
- a bit scary when entering/ exiting
- does not immediately invite to sit
- intimidating once sat
… rethinking/-considering frame & bottom plate shapes
- curved, bended, kinked pipes
- circular, oval plates /frame plates (rocker/skid for smoother entry/exit?)
conclusion: simplicity of the straight pipes is important to underline the seating surface design.
We found that other shapes would be too much & wouldn’t contribute to the concept.
Bottom Plate should be oval, but will stay a plate. Without a rocked element, we purposefully create a communication piece that relies on cooperation & commitment.
… deciding between final 2 upper seating options
!staying with circular shape, no backlean (try out feedback)!

- leather creates softness (inviting, sofa/homy ambience)
- fringes function as sensual experience that can contribute to shared experience & attentiveness yet staying sophisticated visually
