CR02: It Starts with a Chair

So even if classes seemed twice as long this week, I was really interested in learning about designers I knew nothing about. I think it is important to know at least something about the people who made an impact in the industry you are pursuing. I also liked hearing a bit more about other design majors closely related to industrial design. After all I will most likely be working with a few different types of designers at some point in my career.
My absolute favorite part about the lecture was when we began talking about chairs. I love looking at furniture. It amazes me what people can come up with. I took a physics class my senior year of high school and we had to create a chair using only cardboard, glue and tape. It was my favorite part of the class (seeing as science is one of my least favorite subjects next to math...ugh). Anyway, I built a chair that was based off of this photo. -->
I wish I had a picture of mine but I don't. I'm sure I will be given the opportunity to build another chair as I journey through the industrial design major. And I will be sure to take a picture of it.

Speaking of taking pictures of chairs, this is the chair in my bedroom. I don't know the name of it or who designed it, but I still think it's pretty sweet.
