The primary inspiration for our composition stems from a visual exploration of Tbilisi cemeteries. Upon initial observation, we were impressed by the inter actions of individuals with the given environment, noting both their physical and emotional connections to the forms within the space. Although the location and theme of our research may seem obscure to some, delving into a cemetery for inspiration, the emotions it evokes are universal: confusion, emptiness, longing, sadness, and at the same time, the joy found in memories.

While a chair is a major element in design, those found in cemeteries mainly serve a basic, utilitarian purpose. Comfort, ergonomics and visual appeal take a back seat to the primary function of providing a brief rest for a visitor. Through our observations, it became apparent that a regular individual, driven by functional needs and basic materials at hand, creates an element that becomes captivating with its brutal, primitive appearance.
It became evident that in this context, we can group “chairs” based on shape, scale, and material. For our projct, we selected the silhouette of a chair made from metal with rectangular and curved shapes.
