Q& Design

Ever since I graduated, I have been thinking that I should update my portfolio. It's been a while since a graduated, but now I've finally taken time to do something about it! From now on you can find my portfolio on qanddesign.wordpress.com!

QANDDESIGN DESIGN AND VISUAL MERCHANDISING

Q& Culture Chair
Material: Bended birch vaneer.

In cooperation with Huonekalutehdas Korhonen Oy we, as second year designstudents at Novia University of Applied Sciences, got the assignment to plan and produce a chair for Turku Capital of Culture 2011. HKT Korhonen was looking for a new design for a chair that would be used in public areas, be possible to stack and in some way be made out of bended vaneer.

By analyzing all the other products that HKT Korhonen were selling at that time, I wanted to interpret their expertise in bended wood and create something that was closely connected to Capital of Culture design. The result was a beautiful chair with a lot of interesting features, such as the bended seat and HKT Korhonens traditional stool legs.
