What: the concept for my project is based on the idea of being comfortable and content whilst sitting in Bryant Park and relaxing or reading.
Why: i am very self conscious and self-aware and often worry about being in public and how i look/act and if i am being judged.
I wanted to create something which acts as a form of sort fo stability and makes me feel more comfortable in a sitting position and less self conscious and anxious.
How: my product is an ergonomically design sort of lapdesk which acts more as a piece of furniture rather than a functional desk. The design and colors are inspired by the organic lines of the park and my experience of how i feel within the space.
