The Public School Chair

The focus for my thesis project was to design a new type of chair for the public schools in Denmark.

The focus was to revive the classic way that education is intended and the way the students are meant to sit and absorb the knowledge from the teachers.

The intention is that the chair gives the students several different options and possibilities for sitting positions during classroom education.

 

The chair offers with its simple design - two distinct sitting positions. The first position offers a more active seat - where the focus is on the students table and the work immediate in front of the students. And the other is a more passive position where the student is orientated out into the classroom.

The chair is intended as a series in 5 different sizes to ensure that there are chairs that match the height of all students. The chair is stackable and is made from an 11mm birch plywood seat that is mounted to a steel tube frame.
