I planned to design a chair that would allow students to have the freedom of being somewhat mobile, but also prevent the chaos that would come with students in chairs with wheels. Because Reagan does not allow us to carry our backpacks, another thing that I focused on was a chair that had plenty of space in order for students to put all of their books and belongings. The chair that I designed was taller off the ground then most school chairs are. Rather then the seat being at about 2 feet, the seat on this chair would be at about 3 feet from the ground. I figured that this would help students to stay more alert during class, and prevent them from falling asleep. One major complaint that I got while doing my research was, that the chairs were so bad on the back. Because of this I knew that my chair needed some cushioning, but of course not to much because it would cause students to fall asleep in class. I decoded to go for a cushion that allows for students to be comfortable, but not to comfortable.
