FURNITURE DESIGN
Designed for children, this chair's concept, slippery mud, is derived from the book Miss Hunnicutt's Hat.
In the book, mud spills into the streets knocking the town's people down and all around into different positions.
The idea of different positions is what inspired the form of the chair.
The curvilinear lines used to embody the mud sweeping the children into the world of Miss Hunnicutt.
Designed for 4 children
Can hold 5 adults
Duration: 4 weeks
