Task 3: Product Sketching

'Michael Hirst Chair' by Clement Meadore
1959-65

Designed in the 20th century the chair is well ahead of its time. The simple steel frame furniture is well crafted, a classic white and is an ideal companion for any patio. The structure of the chair creates a unique shadow on any surface adding to its design features. More so, the organic seat pan creates an organic composition to the back rest and the simple leg structure, that gently sits under the base of the chair.

An easy to steer and wheel with one hand wheelchair, was a fantastic design to improve the overall lifestyle of many disabled people. The rotational design of the chair allows the user to carry objects and open doors, that could not have be effectively achieved with other wheelchairs.

This furniture design has an innovative and interesting structure. The ability to manipulate hard materials into a beautiful smooth organic seat is desirable, nurtured by its simple nature. The union the material coming together creates a sense of sanctuary and completes the design.
