Piano Hinge for the storage cover/seat
Storage area under the seat
Final model
Final solution - the N.IVAR CHAIRN.IVAR is the final solution that the group came up. It combines both physical and emotional attachment improvement. Target market is university student who live in share apartment or studio. Storage area is lacking in these kinds of living environment and chairs maybe share between roommates.
A storage unit is added under the seat. The principle of the storage unit works like a piano chair, by pressing on the two buttons on both sides to release the locking mechanism of the seat. Then users can store their books, magazines, notes in the storage area. After user purchase the modification, they can simply screw on the attachment with a screw driver due to the chair’s material is just soft pine.
Backrest and seat cushion are also added to the chair. Both of them are made out of memory foam by injection moulded which provides the best customise comfort. The predefined lumber curve allows maximum support. Material properties which further customise the cushion for the users as they sit on it for a prolonged period. User
On the backrest there is an integrated name plate which allows users to create emotional connection to the chair. The plate can be made out of aluminium and laser etched user’s name on it. There will then be an emotional bounding between the chairs and the users which can pro-long the life time for the chair. This can be done through internet ordering. As the user makes an order through, the modification is being laser cut and etched. After the manufacturing is done, the plate can be delivered to the user via postage. This is a side modification for the backrest and seating cushion, therefore its best sold together.
The N.IVAR is an enhanced version of the chair with the aim to pro-long the chair life-span These are the final outcome for as the group proceeded through the Charette.
