Chair° was designed as a response to a new nomadic society requiring
flexible products and furniture allowing for simple storage and convenient
transportation. Inspiration for this project was derived in part from the
Hussein Chalayan fall 2000 womenswear collection as well as several modular
housing concepts by Lotek architecture. Chair^2 elegantly folds up to become
the drawer of a table so that it can be inserted for storage, and removed
for seating. The table may be stored in a similar modular arrangement. The
name for this project comes from the shape that the chair assumes when
folded as well as the exponential progression of the concept.
