Logical Design
An accent chair was chosen because it provided design freedom. It's an aesthetically focused chair that can be styled any way and vary in size.
The Mid-Century Modern aesthetic made the most sense for this project due to its functional nature and simple lines that would translate into a clean and low-profile design that meets the project criteria.
Early ideation pushed style boundaries and explored varying construction methods and material applications.
Scholarship Winning Design
