I have chosen to design furniture for the Salone Satellite event in Milan as it does not appear to have much seating and there seems to be enough room to establish some kind of seating/social area. I like the idea of stools as they encourage more interaction between people. I feel that with high backed chairs etc. the more bulk a chair has, the more they set up a barrier when placed together. I also found that there isn't a vast amount of space as at the 100% design Tokyo show so therefore the smaller the 'chair' or 'seat' the better and smaller chairs are more economical and less wasteful (keeping in theme of using cardboard for furniture). I would like to play with the idea of having either the graphics or the shape of the seat making a pattern or something when placed together ie. hexgon-shaped chairs when put together making a honeycomb-like pattern. I want to try and construct the seat using the one piece of material or otherwise repetition of the same shape so that the visitors to the show can either construct it themselves or carry the pieces. The seat obviously must be made form xanita board, hold 150kg, use no adhesives or fixings (only locking systems), be portable, aesthetic and have areas to be printed on.
I have chosen to set up an area at the entrance of the pavillions that the Salone Satellite exhibition is in at the Milan fairgrounds. The area will serve as a meeting point, resting area and waiting area for perhaps those waiting for others still looking around. The seating will not serve as a place for relaxation so much as the event wants visitors looking around rather than sitting. The graphics will tie in with the theme of the event and become a focal point as visitors walk in. There will be a screen or blank wall on which a projector will show images or short clips of the various entrant in the event.
There could also perhaps be a bench along the front wall that people can use to write details, sketch or fill out forms if there are any that relate to feedback or anything. The stools will provide seating for this as well.
This is a quote from a Belgian group that exhibited in the Salon Satellite event last year on ecodesign; "Ecodesign is very much an implicit parameter and not a passing fad. It is a state of mind, not a label. The choice of a material, the innovativeness of the solutions, the size of the object and the finish have strong, original, poetic connotations. Creators that combine quality of life, respect for the environment and for the user in their creations."
