Scandinavian Design Influencing Chairs Of Today!
I think that the importance of the legacy of Scandinavian modern to design that is present today is that of it's inspiration on chairs of today. This is because the Scandinavian design was mainly focused on being modern but simple at the same time. The chair that I think it is important in for influencing is the Polyprop chair designed by Robin Day. The chair has a very simple design, it consists of just a basic seat attached the the back all molded into one piece. This part is made of injection-moulded polyproplene which is a very basic material. The legs are were easily made and attached to the other part. They legs were made of tublar steel. The scandinavian design was also know for it's functionality. This chair is definitely very functional and serves a distinct purpose. All throughout my years of school, I remember it being in most of my classes and in other places throughout the school. It does a great job at serving the purpose of a place for students to sit long enough for them to be comfortable enough to last through a class. The chair is also very inexpensive and nearly anyone could purchase it if they wanted to. This is very similar to the Scandinavian design. Therefor, I think that this influence was a very strong one and will continue over time.
