Project Overview

Chair was designed to explore the meaning of chairs beyond their everyday function, highlighting their cultural, historical, and symbolic significance. The focus was on creating a clean, minimalist digital archive that organizes chairs into five distinct categories. Through interactive elements, a structured grid system, and a responsive layout, the website offers an engaging and intuitive way to discover different chair designs and their stories.

Challenge

The challenge was to create a digital archive that presented chairs as more than functional objects while keeping the experience simple and engaging. The design needed to balance a minimalist black-and-white aesthetic with interactive elements that encouraged exploration. A clear visual hierarchy, structured grid system, and responsive layout were essential to maintaining a consistent experience across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
