Research Part C

To look for inspiration for an outdoor chair I looked at the Keystone Adirondack Chair. It uses timber as the primary material with a number of galvanized nuts and bolts as fixings.

The advantages of this design are the use of mainly common parts and simple fixings.

The low seating design is the main appeal for my outdoor chair, as it provides the user with the feeling that they are almost lying on the ground without being in the dirt.

The chair is a rigid design and once constructed is not able to be packed away and because of this the timbers used in the product are thick and sealed to protect them from the elements.
The timber helps to create a warm and welcoming feel to the design of the seat.
