Peralta, Ashley: Chair Design

                                                           "Chile Lounge Chair"

    "Chile Lounge Chair" is a life size version of a chile. It is molded from colored, transparent, scratch-resistant acrylic (as pictured above). It's dimensions are 48"x30"x60" (L/W/H) and comes in red or green.
This solid chair has a playful approach on the popular red or green chile often used in the foods of the Hispanic culture as inspiration for the design. The acrylic material offers great lighting effects as it reflects surrounding light. It also gives the design a cartoon- or illustration-like image.
