Modern Chairs

Hello, all! So I come to you today with an assignment about modern chairs (as seen in the title of this post) and how the sense of being "modern" has changed. This information will be based on the chairs viewed in class. Today, I heard in class that modernism is based on what's the most current thing around, that everyone who creates something considers it modern. The chairs today all seemed to be modern in their own ways, especially in what their specific functions were (where their meant to be used). Some of them were office chairs that ranged from comfortable to super stiff/scratchy--the blue one all the front of the line was worst one, and I call it "The Angry Man's chair." There was one chair meant for a tea room, and it was pretty uncomfortable for me because I like to lounge a lot. That's where the rest of the chairs came out to be more appealing since they were all mean solely for your comfort.
 In my eyes, modernism is using the clients wants/needs for how they live or work and creating something that completely describes what their searching for. It's creating something that is new, innovative, and has a distinctive use.
When it comes to scale, I think it just depends on which chair we were talking about. Thinking back to the tea room chair, the back of it was actually very tall--not only in comparison to the other chairs, but also to anyone standing next to it. On the other hand, there was one chair that was made of what looked to be wood and it sat very close towards the ground. Then there's another chair (referred to as the "Womb") that actually comes in three different sizes. However, aside from the fact that it has more than one size, it's still relatively large for a person when they sit in it. When I sat down, I felt like I was sinking down into the chair. So overall, scale just depends on the chair.
