Group F4 won the design competition with their idea of moving chairs but had a major flaw in that their central pole and actual base had become extremely heavy and bulky in order to support their chairs.
In tutorials, the issue of a “solid structure” became a key topic of conversation. We were reminded of the importance of making seats that appeared seat-like and sturdy to the public, who would otherwise approach them with caution.
Therefore we used group A1′s jointing principles and square forms to create their central axis, in theory solving their weight problems as it would have a hollow centre and would use lightweight palette wood.
