A Chair The process of this project starts with ideas and desire to find answers on the questions like: What can we do to solve the problems of existing waste in our areas? How can we reuse it? Collecting materials like a cardboard, the thoughts appeared on my mind, to give a new form, function and a new life to the object. By formulating concept, I gave myself a freedom to try to create a chair, by keeping rules in mined (no glue, no adhesive tape, no new materials, only reused). Inspired by Bauhaus Movement, where combination of Art and Crafts aim to bring art into contact with everyday life, I decided to apply this approach into my design, with concept as a Dialogue. Dialogue is a conversation of two or more individuals (intersecting layers of cardboard pieces in a design), any conversation might be effected by mood of interlocutors (colors of details in design). And only well-constructed dialogue might help to solve the problems of existing waste in our areas.
