Petalo Chair
In late 2009 I worked with a group of classmates to conceptualize and prototype a chair that could be installed on a particular floor of the School of Design and Arts building.
The five-seater Petalo was inspired by a five-petaled flower to symbolize its installation on the 5th floor of the building - the industrial design floor. The flower theme also represented the birth of new ideas on this floor. The seats are arranged around a central gap in which lights, plants or other fixtures may be installed.
