My design takes a more conceptual approach in re-designing a Southwest style chair, making applicable to the contemporary world of design. What the style conveyed to me was incorporating nature into one’s home via furniture, with materials such as burled wood and decorations of wildlife scenes. What I have done is take Molesworth’s Club Chair and created a planter with it, so it will literally embody the surrounding wildlife by housing various wildflowers native to the Southwest. Inspired by Tokujin’s glass chairs, My chair takes the silhouette of the Molesworth chair and instead is made out of glass and is open at the headrest. Just as with the Club chair, I want to replicate the wood beams at each corner out of glass. To have a nice contrast these beams would be frosted glass, with the sides of the chair in clear glass. The southwest patterning is left out. So instead of the chair having a cushioned cover, it will be removed completely so the eye focuses on the chair itself and flowers within. It will conform to the original measurements of the Club chair, 35” high x 36” wide x 34” deep. It is meant to be a garden piece as a planter and seat. The flowers I have chosen to include grow vertically so they can come out the top of the chair and yet will not be too obtrusive when sitting. They will be included as packages of seeds in various combinations. The intended market includes the clientele of something like Stone Forest in Santa Fe. They specialize in creating and manufacturing stone art pieces for the home and garden, which include: fountains, sinks, bath tubs, sculpture and pottery for plants. My chair would be an addition to the ‘stone’ line as one of the only pieces made of glass. Flowers include: Redroot Buckwheat, Baneberry, Mariposa Lily, Wild Hollyhock, Morning Glories, Dragonhead, Shepards Purse, Cutleaf Coneflower, Woolly Mullein, Red columbine, Scarlet Penstemon, Pinesap, Stiped Coralroot Orchid, Skyrocket, Stream Orchid, Penstemon (several different varieties), Coralbells, Leather flower, Plains Larkspur, Giant Hyssop, Spike verbena, Canyon Bog Orchid
