The project began to develop when my professor Iman wanted the class to think about the customers' experience in a factory. I wanted people to instead of giving money to the factory, as admissions the customer would plant some type of plant, flower, or tree to start the process of being part of the ecosystem of the life of a chair. I believe the problem with how we buy chairs is not seeing the craftsmanship of a chair. Not being able to witness the process of a, let's say wooden chair, what my factory does is makes you part of one of the ecosystems of the chair's life. We have the workers, then us, then the chair. So, you would start by planting the plant and in exchange of that you would have the wood. The customer would be included every step to as big as cutting nana molding the legs to as simple as getting the nails. In a way I thought about someone growing with the chair. To start thinking about my design I would start making these layers of coffee (study models) and study how these layers would change in different materials, having objects inside, etc... Then that's when I decided that I would not have the floors flat but having little hills and dips. On each dip their people would walk and rest. At the top the people would work on their chairs. The way they would get in is by the glass elevator that runs through the floors, having exclusive views of the roots on the way down to seeing the structure of the building on the third floor.
