sitting devices


the sitting devices are pretty interesting. they have a sensual quality. the soft touch of the fabric and the rest. the form itself has come a long way from the first stone our primitive ancestors sat on to the present day 'lazy-boy' with a cup holder at the side to hold your drink and a place to keep the remote for TV and many different adjustments for reclining and such. it may have an uncomfortable meaning in a different context. chair of authority, chair of interrogation and execution and such. the moment you see them, all kinds of memories and subtle emotions arise in the subconscious. the laid back nature of a cozy chair brings back the remembrance of some easy times. generally they evoke a sense of relief as they are associated with rest and relaxation.
