Please Be Seated

This project was a collaboration with Royal College of Art product design student, Parsha Gerayesh. Parsha and Jacqueline created a chair with the minimal amount of components/materials that would mold to individual bodies, rather than the body having to mold to the chair. When the chair is not being interacted with it looks like a wall hanging but once sat in, it transforms into a chair. In order for the woven material to stretch in some areas and not in others Jacqueline wove this piece with an elastic warp and a polyester warp.
