Sketch / Collage to express your chair concept

Explain it in one sentence.

- Interaction:

Video prototype /  animation / interactions sketch

How it works, how it looks in action / interaction

- Work process:

Show briefly how you built it:

Interesting new material use.

Commented code.

Which sensors and actuators? Special experiments?

- Prototype:

Show final result in pictures/video and live demo.

*[in addition to your live demo, make sure you have a video of it working]

- Next steps [OPTIONAL]: What might be the future research after this workshop.

Here are short descriptions of the 6 concepts:

1. Cocoon Chair

A hybrid of a chair and a blanket, aiming to provide the warm experience of cosiness by the fire place.
When rocking in the chair, wrapped in its blanket sleeves, a fire-like light sparkles.
(Estelle Meissonnier and Ornella Coffi)

2. Vincent: Speak the language of chairs
This new chair mutation can is alive, and can communicate with us – but we have to speak its chair-ish language. Vincent reacts to the way we treat it with a wide vocabulary – all sounds are real chair sounds, mechanically produced by its own body.
(Carline Grout, Cecile Gay and Martin De Bie)

3. The Wild Chair

If you meet this wild creature, you will have to work hard in order to domesticate it. Its wild instincts will drive it away from you, unless you approach it gently and wisely. The wild chair is sensitive to soft talk and kind gestures.
(Pauline Jamilloux and Cristobal Karich)

4. Whisper Chair/Gossip Chair

A chair which invites us to sit and whisper a secret into its opening cushion wing. The person who tells a secret, receives other pre-stored secret in return.
(Clara Daguin and Kevin Garcia)

5. Baptism chair

v
A kneeling chair that demands credit payment and in return will pour some holy water on the kneeler.
(Melisa Guenet and Romee de la Bigne)

6. Lucien

A sun loving chair: The back of the chair is rotating and turning toward the light. In order to sit on Lucian one has to turn its lower part in a matching manner, facing the sun.
(Martin Letiec and Ludovic Leger)

This afternoon was all brainstorming. We had dozens of great ideas, but eventually, each group focused on one chosen concept to be developed into a working prototype.

This year’s workshop pays attention to chairs. We will design new ways of interacting with chairs, providing an additional and meaningful relation to the ordinary sitting experience.

We started this morning with introductions: to the participance, the theme, the brief, to new materials and some electronics and finally, to the ENSAD building.
