RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Instead of shape Dressup borns with functional needs, which dictates the lines. Our idea comes with the intention of creating a upholstered chair and easily removable covers. So we came up with a solution that combines clip mechanised button with female and male parts, with a simple upholstered lining. We started with simple sketches and then arrived to 3D rendered images with environments.
CHALLENGE: For us the most difficult part was coming up with an elegant and modern structural parts.
