Rainbow chair - Rational

Rational –Rainbow chair

Problem

When I went to Bondi beach, I saw a lot of people have nowhere to put their personal belongings and shoes.

(People putting their personal belongings on the top of the sands)

Hence I am thinking can I design a chair for people to put their personal belongings when they go to the beach rather than putting their stuff on the top of sands?

When I walking around the beach I saw the benches around the beach and here has heaps blank to keep the sands so I am think can I design a chair stick on the wall and have some part for people put their shoes.

Solution

So I come up with a chair like this

The best innovation of my chair is I designed my chair bottom part 65 mm wide which for people to putting the shoes. As I did some research about the people’s width? The average width of girls are 8 cm, boys 11cm.so 6.5 cm will be able to hanging people’s shoes. So  when people go to beach they have somewhere to hang their shoes.

When I carefully look my photos from Bondi again, I realize not all people go to beach with happy mood so I am thinking about play the colour in my design. I choose rainbow colour which can represent all people emotion. Moreover, I made my chair in different position which can suitable for all height people to sit. There has different colour version such as: happy, so-so, sad. So people can chose which emotion to sit. Also I made the different version for example: individual, couple and family.  Another reason I putting the rainbow colour in my chair because I saw the beach wall has been painted to make the beach become more interesting! Ii am thinking if I putting the colour in my chair which makes the beach more colourful rather than paint the blank wall, also, government can saving money to paint the blank wall.

Benefits

Because it is a wall chair so it can be put anywhere has blank wall, and makes the area become more colourful.

Material

Rainbow chair is made by wood.  It is a recyclable, green material. It has long usage.

How it is answer the brief?

My design is be able see from the far distance and it use all the blank walls .

Innovation:

The special thing of my bottle is I change the top part which show in picture

So mums only need to change the nipple instead of wasting the capsules. Which can save more material and making the manufacture process easily .

 Inspiration story

 Every Sunday I go to church Sunday meeting and I see the mums always carrying different kind of baby bottles with them to feeding their little baby. Thus, I was thinking can the bottle growing while baby growing.  So whole their life only need one bottle.

Design philosophy

As reach I did shows: mums always buy at least 3-4 bottles for their baby, and when the baby becomes older those bottles are useless and chucked into bean. If mums only buy one L-green bottle and this bottle are going to using for their baby whole lifetime. In other word we are teaching kids to protect environment and save the earth resources when they were little baby.
