What kind of chair do we need? The question is actually asking, “What kind of life do we need?”
The chair is a symbol of the territory for peple. In the workplace, it represents identity and status; in the home it represents the individual territory; in public, it replaces the weight of the body with the feet, allowing people to breathe. Psychologically, people need a seat and are looking for a territory where they can be placed, so the seat will be given social meaning. Where to sit, how to sit is not a simple physiological activity, and often it is part of social activities. Sitting in a place where there are more than two people, the East and the West are different , and it is rude to sit in the improper place.
And the meaning of how to sit is equally colorful.
The East and West countries have their own classic models chairs that made them sitting seriously. The upright back plate of one chair makes people’s body be dignified and serious, this is to require behaviors to have rules to follow, but also to establish their own identity. It is interesting.
There are many cases in which people can relax and sit in the East and West countries. The evolution of the sitting posture is not because of changes in human physiological genes, but because people have different demands for their own desires.
The chair that allows the body to pose in various postures allows the occupant to express various emotions. “Because the seat is as it is, I am not guilty of such a feeling.” With the affirmation of individual values by modernism. Be fully fulfilled.
The imagination of modern designers on chairs is divided into several levels:
What are the different looks, including materials, colors, and lines that can convey emotions and values?
What kind of needs can be achieved by different sitting styles?
How many sides of a person can be broken down by different seats?
Although design has the responsibility to satisfy the desire, how to satisfy it requires wisdom. In the new era, we are faced with the deterioration of the natural environment, the intensification of civilized conflicts, the global competitive market, and the values and means of the past are not enough to help us to obtain sustainable development resources. So what is the direction of design efforts? What value is there that needs to be created by a new generation of designers?
Those who were chosen by the times are responsible for the choice of his time.
