STATEMENT

I spent 20 dollars bought this unique chair in a second hand shop. It is a functional chair which has a curve steel coat hanger, and the 362mm seat height is lower than a normal chair. But from the ergonomics perspective，this height is perfect for a people who use this chair as a wear shoes chair. So I defined this chair as a dressing chair.

The manufacturing of this dressing chair is cheap and simple. The four chair legs and the back of a chair are made from the stainless steel which can extends the life of the chair and making it more resistant to rust, chips and fading. The upholstery is made from the cheap leather cover which is filled with low density foam. So it sits not that comfortable. Moreover, the cross design chair legs are fixed with a screw enhanced the stability of the chair structure. The most unique part of this chair is a curve steel coat hanger which welding on the top of the chair back. It gives another function to this chair --- to hang the clothes. To compare with a normal chair it still has use value even when people don’t sit on it. Besides, this funny chair is easy to dismantle. And it is not perfect, from the ergonomics, functional, style and manufacture perspectives, it still has large space to improve and redesign. So I think it is good choice for this project.
