Dynamic Seating Study

Static to Dynamic Seating is an on-going process based spatial inquiry into the natural inclination of the body to constantly move. A non-traditional manner of gesture study was used to map movement spatially using modern dance. Consideration for transition from one posture to another attempts to challenge the concept of furniture’s impact on our body to yield a chair created using experimental design and carbon fiber molding processes allowing both active and passive postures for the user.

Shown at Work Gallery Ann Arbor as a part of Synthesis, the 2012 Senior Show for University of Michigan School of Art and Design.
