Prompt: For this final project, students will be divided into new groups to create their own culture, by designing and building a seating structure that serves a particular moment of interaction.

This structure is crafted using 5 wooden pieces painted in mint green, slotted together vertically. These pieces intersect with each other at a 90-degree angle. In order to make the chair more ergonomic and more comfortable, I made a quilted cushion with floral patterns that also acts as a bag to carry the disassembled pieces.
