Shameless Self Promotion: 'That's Not a Chair'

I designed the "Stoop Chair" in the summer of last year. The idea behind the chair was to design a piece that is completely open for user interpretation, and whose function is determined by the context in which it is in. I enjoy factoring humor and wit into design, as I feel a stronger attachment to products that make me smile. I personally see the "Stoop Chair" as a chair simply because I enjoy sitting on steps. Some people may see it as a commentary on suburban housing, or as a play on the phrase "porch furniture," or simply as a fun bench to sit around with your friends on. Most won't even see it as a chair at all. The chair is designed to be made from roto-molded polyethylene which allows for a wide range of colors, and even a marblized effect, though the prototype is made from insulation foam covered in fiberglass.
