Remy

1. REMY
Edward Cohen

2. Phase One
Inspiration & Exploration
Design a quiet chair
for the foyer.

3. It is the home’s first impression.A foyer is a place of transit

4. Every object must serve a function. Aesthetics being a form of function.

5. The chair should be discreet, understated, yet evoke powerful
emotions. It should blend into it’s environment, only aware to
the keen observer. Once discovered, the aesthetics of the chair
should make a user feel tranquil and serene. The chair should
function as a piece of art and a piece of furniture.
Design Hypothesis
The synthesis of art and utility.
