Elements and principles
Elements
-
Form
Organic form of chair. Makes it look more natural and sculpts to your body to make it more comfortable.
Line
Vertical lines in fabric make the chair appear bigger than it really is. Lets the designer have a physically shirter chair, in turn takes up less room in house.
Texture
Smooth texture in wood. Varnished wood also has a visual wood grain texture but the varnish makes it smooth and comfortabke.
Texture in the fabric, soft. Makes the chair feel warm, comfortable and contrasts with the smooth wood.
Principles
-
Contrast
Contrast between materials of wood and frabric to create visual interest. The wood makes it look more grounded contrasting with the highter visual of fabric
Pattern
Pattern in the lines. Alternating pattern. Makes the chair look narrower and tsller? But at same time not taking up as much physical space.
Proportion
The legs of the chair are thin and create a sense of air in the base of what would otherwise be a greater proprtion in other chairs. The fabric portion of chair is the largest proportion which invites you into the space of the chair. More top heavy. You can see behind chair due to thin legs that elevate the nody of the chair. This makes the chair not so heavy looking within an elegant room.
figure ground
the relationship between the main boy of the chair and the negative space underneath the chair. The empty space created by the thin turned legs creates a since of lightness to an otherwise heavy looking chair
Purpose
To Depict: If you discuss it as being a 3rd angle orthogonal origin. The designer created the 3rd angle orthogonal drawing to depict to the furniture maker of how the chair looks and dimensioned. You could also say isometric drawing.
To Accommodate: The designer designed the chair to accommodate a person to relax in the living room. The chair forms to the body. To accommodate is when it is a physical product. Imagine no internet, these people would relax in front of the family radio, read the newspaper, talk to each other, read out loud novels, etc.
