Personal Project

Tasked with designing a chair, I explored how it might evoke a certain emotion - joy - from the people who approach it.

What makes an object joyful?

Objects and environments alter the way we behave and feel, whether through small interactions or within our living space.

Round

Leverage soft, smooth shapes that create a sense of safety.

Inviting

The chair’s form should be welcoming and encourage interaction.

Open

Include elements of negative space to create a sense of lightness and openness.
