I always thought that
a product should speak for itself, in
this case the abstract, vaqueness, quality
is the curiosity factor. If this chair
is speaking to you in this curious manner,
then it is speaking to you in the correct
language.
This chair is about discoveries. Discoveries
of not just what this product is, but
the discovery which you experience
when using it. The name itself triggers
curiosity, and when you finally fiqure
out what exactly the product is, whether
by someone informing you or by your
experiencing its initial insertion
into the sand, you experience the discovery
factor behind this design.
This chair is lightweight, whimsical
( in that it has the right amount of
technical suggestion, while not being
too serious ), easy to carry, and most
importantly it offers a comfortable back
support, for your sitting pleasure. Why
is there not a pivoting seat which folds
down from the backrest? Because I wanted
to retain the connection of our bodies
with " Mother Earth ", in this
case her glistening sand. The sand offers
a natural cushion which conforms to each
of our uniquely individual contoured
behinds, our " personal seat cushions ".
Of course, tuck one end of a towel under
the chair if you need to.
