Charette One

This design is for a clip on back piece to the chair to provide lumbar support and extra comfort.
This particular design is done for the larger sized people in the community that may find the seat of the chair a little to small. Its a larger and reinforced piece of wood that could be used as a substitute to the original seat base.
This idea is for children. Its a step for the chair that allows them to get on and off more easy and have somewhere to rest their feet when they are seated.
This design is a dual purpose chair that can be transformed into a bench.
These next three ideas are quite silly but i enjoy doing these kind of designs as they inspire other more sensible designs.


This last design is a chair that looks wooden, cheap and hard but in reality is very comfortable. The base seat is actually a special foam that is created to look like the wood the rest of the chair is made of.

this is the final product that our group came up with

An extra beam for more support and provide foot support.

Feet grip for stability and to raise the chair and provide a dip for extra comfort.

Back rest and lip for the front of the chair to extra comfort for the back and underside of the knees.

For something more fun and unusual, the seat of the chair functions like a piano chair and has a secret compartment.
