EPAL - a resting chair for women

The 5 Ws
What: A resting chair made of an old EPAL
Why: With this chair made out of old planks made of a deconstructed EPAL, I hope to inspire a new take on using old materials and reusing them and elevate the discussion about the equality of measurements within the furniture industry.

Before
Furniture measurements
By designing this chair for women's bodies, I wanted to highlight the inequality within the furniture industry made visible by Erik Berglund's book about measurements of furniture (Sittmöblers mått) where the exemplified model is a medium-sized man.
Lessons
The project was not only a learningful experience but also very fun. By trying to eliminate any waste parts, I hade to thoroughly plan and design the resting chair meticulously. This took its fair share of time but it fun doing it.
After
Left over parts
