Why Don’t You Design a Chair?

Sippanon Detanan – Why Don’t You Design a Chair?

Working for almost ten years as an interior designer, I have been used to choosing furniture that matches my space designs. This is the first time I have decided to challenge myself to make an armchair with my own hands.

Rigid material, i.e., wood, is used as the main structure. Combined with the tension of the soft material (fabric or leather), the backrest and armrests can simply change depending on the mood of the space.

It looks like I have just designed another chair among millions of existing chairs, but the aim was to answer my own question: could I create a chair from scratch? This project has given me a lot of experience and a vision for my next chair. So why not design another one?ars as an interior designer, I have been used to choosing furniture that matches my space designs.
