GUNNAR
Gunnar is a dining chair made with the purpose to be altered. With a wooden frame and a fabric that is wrapped around you can easily change the appearance.
This thesis started with an idea to design a furniture piece that can change with us. I saw a tendency were people prioritize and follow trends instead of analyzing what they need.
A dining chair is a furniture piece the majority of people have in their home and which is often used and therefore easily worn out. Instead of constantly buying new, I wanted to design a chair which you can alter to what your needs require.
The chair is made out of a wooden frame where you wrap a fabric around it to be able to sit in it. The fabric is fastened behind the backrest and under the seat with a belt function.
The fabric comes in two different options, a white one and a patterned one, which I have designed myself. The idea is to have more options for the fabric in the future.
With the Gunnar chair you can have many chairs in one.
