The students were given a dedicated handout that contained several pages of information relating to the design history of seating – ranging from the socio-economic development of seating based upon materials, design periods and anthropology, through to ergonomics and the way human kind interacts with the environment they ‘sit’ in, be it for task seating (at a desk, eating etc.) through to leisure seating (relaxing, commercial or contract furniture etc.).
Please click on the link below to see your sons/daughters work and final presentations to our ‘dragons den’ panel outlining their focus and rationale as to ‘why’ their idea should be taken forward and developed into a full documentary on seating design and developmen through history.
