Through a continuous creation process called “One Week, One Chair” — a process where one chair is made every week for ten consecutive weeks — I explore different qualities of the chair in order to gain greater knowledge. The “One Week, One Chair” process and the insights it accumulates builds the foundation for creating one last chair, which in itself materializes and demonstrates the findings that were made throughout the process. “A good chair” aims to tackle the complex task of creating a “good” chair by going in head first with a practice based research method and learning by doing mentality. The diploma explores different aspects of learning through action and practice, with the end goal of creating a good chair.
