Chair Experience

Hello, again! So I'm here with another post for tonight (trying to get a little ahead on my homework for next week). This one will be referring back to those chairs from class today, but more importantly the one my group was assigned. My group was assigned the Purple-Womb chair by Saarinen. Something my group and I had to do together was to describe this chair using ten words. So here's the list:

  1. Texture: the fabric had a specific feeling to it the was a cross between rough and soft.
  2. Symmetry: the chair was the same all throughout; if split in half, each half would look the same.
  3. Color: as the title proclaims, the chair is purple.
  4. Unity: the whole flow of the chair works due to the different elements and principles working together to create the whole composition.
  5. Lines: specifically curvy, line can be found throughout the whole chair; some of the lines are straight, but the majority of them are curved.
  6. Form: the way the inside of the chair forms gives the impression of form.
  7. Scale: we were told this chair comes in different sizes, so that's part of scale; another part is that a person can feel a lot smaller than they are when sitting in this chair.
  8. Adaptable: when someone walks into a room and sees this chair, the instantly know their in a comfortable place.
  9. Comfort: the cushions are squishy and the fabric used feels nice against your skin.
  10. Accessible: it's easy to clean because the cushions are attached with small clasps that release for cleaning.
Below is an image of me sitting in the chair in a way that truly represents what this chair is meant for. By the way, I loved this chair! It was my favorite out of all of them.
