My Own Brief + Inspiration

Event Research / Inspiration!!
This is a sum up of the Melbourne Design Made Trade festival. My chosen event for creating card board chair.


The Melbourne Design Made Trade is run annually, it will be held from 15-25, of July this year. Our home grown festival spreads its wings across the whole city, running events throughout Melbourne city and beyond. The point of the festival is to celebrate Melbourne deep design and creative culture. A whole range of furniture is used throughout the process, from stools at small events, to lounges in coffee shops.

Things is discovered while researching the MDMT...
1. People are always moving, they do not stay in one place for too long (plus the venue dosent want people lingering in one spot for hours)

2. There is limited space

3. By the time it starts its practically over, everything is fast paced.

4. Set up must be quick and easy

I think the furniture I design has to reflect and solve these issues.

Solution
1. My chair must be at the correct ergonomic height but with no back or arm rests. This will enable people to rest for 15- 20 mins but never get comfortable enough to linger indefinitely.

2. Small spacious stool, light wieght that hold 150kg and has a viod running through the middle. This gives a feeling of space, making a space look bigger. Must be flat packed and easierly transported in large numbers.

3/4. The stool must be constructed within a minute by one person. The stool must be a single piece of card board. This will eliminate any problems of lost parts/missing items.
