Workshop ”Japanese set”* – the project.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT:
Every human being is unique. People who sit around a table to work, exchange ideas and think together are all different and have different individualities.
This led us to the idea that if every chair around the Brainstorming table had its own individuality, it would be quite stimulating for the creative process. This way, every member from the team would choose "their own" personal chairs - the one which suits their individuality best.
* Japanese set - the set of five tea cups with different forms/design
GOAL:
1. Good communication and creative environment to be created
2. To work over the relationship designer - manufacturer - user.
TASK:
Japanese set of chairs for Brainstorming to be created. They have to respond to and reflect the different characters and temperaments in one team, and to make the maximum comfort for the creativity process.
