The chair as a medium for interpersonal interaction

Chairs - At the end of each day we will sit in different chairs and do various activities with and on them. These chairs affect our body. Does the chair affect only the human body? Or can chairs affect the relationships between people?

"MAZU" is a chair on which the two sit together. This chair uses the principle of a swing that moves back and forth and is playful. Playing is an interaction where people can experience the same things together and feel the same feelings. So I tried to trigger human interaction through a chair with play. In addition, the two sit in vis-à-vis, which makes it easier to face each other and to control their movements through the balance and interaction of the two seated. In these "cooperative" gaming devices, the joy of the additional interpersonal interaction is kindled in us. As a medium, "MAZU" will interact with two seated people and enhance communication. "MAZU" is not only a chair, but also acts as a trigger that triggers the emotions of the people.

MAZU (마주)“MAZU”는 두 사람이 함께 앉는 의자이다. 구조는 그네의 원리를 따르며, 앞뒤로 장난스럽게 움직인다. 놀이는 사람들이 함께 같은 것을 경험하고 동일한 감정을 느낄 수 있는 상호 작용이다. 그래서 나는 놀이의 기능을 가진 의자를 통해 인간의 상호 작용을 이끌어 내고자 했다. 뿐만 아니라, 두 사람이 앉는 방향을 서로 반대로 하여 얼굴을 쉽게 마주볼 수 있게 하였으며, 앉아있는 두 명의 균형과 상호작용을 통해 움직임을 조절할 수 있도록 하였다.
