Hudson Jessica, Chair Design

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.
