General Information
Overview – Designing a practical piece of furniture is one of the biggest challenges of human-centered design. The process requires an in-depth knowledge of how people engage with their environment and the objects within it. You need to create something that not only meets the need of a diverse group of users, but also consider aesthetics, ergonomics, functionality and sustainability. In considering all of these factors, it is important not to lose sight of the overall experience.
In this contest, we invite you to demonstrate your creativity and technical abilities by designing and building a piece of furniture that exemplifies human-centered design principles. Some examples could include an ergonomic folding chair, a multi-functional storage solution, or a coffee table made from recycled materials. Show us your most practical and innovative solutions.
Requirements – Instructable must document designing and/or making a piece of furniture.
