Julian Dinsing Raindrop Week:8






For this chair I chose to focus on a type of chair which to me is the most relaxing. The way this chair is suspended from the top with a ball bearing provides the sense of floating. The full range of motion also allows for subtle swinging motions which calm and relax the soul as you sink deep into the two huge pillows.
The aluminum pipes make for a lite and structurally solid design which are two important aspects of this design as it has to be transportable and also withstand the weight of two people 400lb. Standing at 100 inches tall it inst still portable and can also be disassembled into two main components, the base and pole and the seating area (raindrop)
The reason for the name is that the shape of the seat is a raindrop. The idea behind this is that it is dropping from the top of the pole which holds it which ties in into the relaxing experience this chair should be. Water, especially the sound of water can have a very calming effect, so what could be nice to be surrounded by a shape which makes you think of the light trickling sound of rain.
