For the first time, there is interactivity in design exhibition. The pleasant lady at the President’s Design Award exhibition urged me to sit on this seemingly fragile award-winning rocking chair (this is made of continuous folded strip of moulded fiberglass).
Considering the fact that it can support my weight, I think it has achieved its objective of a functional chair. However, I don’t feel safe as I was constantly worried of the chair dropping to the other side, thus when I got up, I needed someone to support me.
I like this design as this chair attempts to fuse functionality and arts. I think it is the first designer chair that allows visitors to sit on the chair. Most exhibitions do not allow visitors to sit on the chair. On first look, I was not convinced that the chair can work well. As the saying goes, Looks can deceive. Never judge a book by its cover.
