Detailed Description

For project 2, I decided to work on furniture for the elderly. After discussion with my guide, the project evolved into Chairs for the elderly. For this, I took interviews of the elderly and also did my share of secondary research. After I did my primary and secondary research, I got a lot of insights. This helped me to come up with my brief: design a chair for the elderly, which is very easy to get in and out of and is also very comfortable. Then I proceeded to do ideation, and from the ideation came the concepts. Then I made mockups of the concepts, and the final design of the chair was also ready. Then I made a full-size working rig to test.
