SPUTNIK Chair

I decided that with all of the interest in space tourism that it would be fun to return to the beginning with   Sputnik.  The chair is 5' tall and made of metallized plastic.  The seat is cut into the satellite reminiscent of 1970's egg chair.

New Mission of the Southwest Part I

4 x 3 1/2 x 3 feet.
This Chair is inspired by the Mission Style furniture of which is highly revered in the southwest. It takes the mission style chair and creates an urban feel with sophistication and pop, while not completely throwing the southwestern ascetic out the window. 
Natural bamboo where the pencil in the figure is, and recycled plastic where the black pen and pen hatching is. The sides and insides of the plastic part of the chair would have a gloss texture to it, while the back plastic part would have a brushed texture. The cushion of the chair would be wide enough for one to sit cross legged comfortably in. The arms of the chair would not reach up as arm rests but rather sit about as high as the seated individuals thigh. This placement would create a more relaxing and grounded sensation, as well as a floating sensation due to the openness of the front of the chair. The back of the chair encourages the sitter to sink into the cupped, hugging shape.The cushion would be available only in blue or turquoise, while the bamboo of the chair would be available in a brown stain or a white finish.
It would be sold at upscale and trendy furniture stores and priced around $500.

Concho Chair, Michelle Barreras

For this chair I decided to take the Southwestern style and combine it with a more modern shape of chair. I drew inspiration from conchos, which are often used in jewelry and accessories. The materials I wanted to be used in this chair are stainless steel and turquoise. I would want the top and back of this chair to be made using the same methods that are used to make conchos.

The Wedge Heel Stool:

This stool is made to look like a stacked wedge heel. The red back of the chair is to look like the back of a red high heeled shoe. The target audience is single women who live in their own urban apartments and like fashionable design.  It is made of light wood stacked, red leather, and an iron base that is inserted in the center of the wood base. This chair was inspired by heels and shows off the stereotypical women's love of shoes. It would be sold at stores like Target and Pier 1. It would be intended to be at a bar or a high rise table.

Mesa Chair

Inspired by the soft geometry of nature, the slightly asymmetrical structure of Mesa chair is designed to mimic the mountains prevalent in the American Southwest. The form is placed on two legs that are made of steel and then powder coated in a light ‘sand’ finish. In spite of being thin, the base of chair will support a lot of weight and allow an illusion and sensation of floating.

The seat of this chair is filled with polyurethane foam and available in leather and felt. Being paired with two-tone colors, this design is also offered in plain color, if you prefer clean, minimalistic look.
