High stool design based on the theme of 'discovery'.'Discovering' something brings a sense of ownership and attachment to the object.Stones or shells found as a child, a shop or place that makes you think you are the only one who has found it.We naturally feel an attachment to things we have actively, rather than passively, come to know.The high stool was designed with the aim of encouraging this kind of sense of attachment that discovery brings.It is not only a chair to sit on, but also a tool to encourage a sense of attachment to the space.The shape of the chair that most of us come up with is designed to let us recognise the function of sitting visually.For this project, we attempt to remove this visual chair form as possible, so that its appearance has become an “object”. It is to let the user find the function of sitting by trying and touching rather than gaining the visual information.
「発見」をテーマにしたハイスツールのデザイン。何かを「発見」することは、対象物に所有感や愛着をもたらす。子供の頃に見つけた石や貝殻、自分だけが見つけたと思わせるようなお店や場所。受動的ではなく、能動的に知り得た事柄には自然と親近感を抱くことができる。このような、発見がもたらす所有感を促すことを目的とし、椅子として座るだけを機能とせず、空間へ抱く所有感を促すツールとしての役割を提案したい。椅子と聞いて誰もが思い浮かべる形状は、座るという機能を視覚的に認識できるように形作られている。上述のような特徴的な椅子の形状を極力取り払い、視覚的な情報収集で座るという機能を認識するのではなく、自らが触り試すことで座るという機能を初めて発見できるような「物体」を目指した。
