Chair Design

The concept of connections is essential for the art of design, and especially when it comes to the design of chairs. It is because there is no other piece of furniture which may offer so many possibilities to create connections to the same degree or extent as the chair does. And due to this fact, there have been plenty of efforts and resources invested by designers throughout a longer period of time even longer than for other furniture pieces. In our modern times and apart from the auto vehicle, the chair is the most written about, designed, studied and famous art object.
Indeed, it has always been the number of connections that influenced the success a type of chair enjoyed both for the design art and industry, and for the large market, for the great public. Apart from their number, the quality and variety of the connections can also have an impact on the designer's chances of success. At the same time, chairs may address a certain or several specific needs, habits and tastes. If we are to take into account the functional aspect of such a type of furniture, chairs can make both psychological and physiological connections with the persons sitting on them. And these connections are made through the chair's materials and form. At the same time, a chair may be the embodiment of certain values and meanings which can connect with the user at certain specific levels - intellectual, cultural, emotional, aesthetic or even spiritual. Also, there is another level at which the structural components within a chair's design can result in fundamental connections. Also, a chair can connect both visually and functionally with the context in which it is used. This context can include other objects and styles, of course. In a larger sense, chair design connects with different ideologies and mentalities, production approaches and to various economic theories.
