The task set by Herman Miller was to design a personal and enriching piece of furniture that would be utilised by rural school children, many of whom travel great distances to school every day. They are not guaranteed a seat in their classroom which means that they usually end up sitting on the floor.

These children move in and out of their classrooms often to be educated outdoors because of the severe heat indoors. The piece of furniture had to be adaptable and had to be capable of withstanding amplified weather conditions.

I approached this task with a mindset to ensure that every child would have their own seat.
