The Harmonious Chair was a product of The USF SACD Summer 2018 Chair Workshop. My design intent of building this chair was to create an engaging and inclusive piece of furniture for the Blind community. My hope is the design could start a dialogue of the missing accessibility in every day objects. Due to the variations of holes trapping the copper piping, a melody is created when struck by a White Cane, or a walking stick used by the visually impaired. The bent, rounded red oak wood traps the noise and radiates to not only notify a person of the chair but also makes the interaction with the chair an experience.
