Comfortable and Relaxing Cradle Chair

Richard Clarkson in collaboration with Brodie Campbell, Grace Emmanual, Jeremy Broker, Kahlivia Russell, Eamon Moore and Joya Boerrigter took the idea of some adults always bearing a child side within to another level. According to the project developers, “Cradle Chair is about creating a safe, comfortable and relaxing enviroment in which the user can dissipate the overstimulation of their senses. The design was heavily directed by a synthesis of research into Autisim and children with Rythmic Movement Disorder (RMD) as well as saftey, sustainability, function and aesthetics.”

Designers: Richard Clarkson, Grace Emmanual, Kalivia Russel, Eamon Moore, Brodie Cambell, Jeremy Brooker, Joya Boerrigter.

The chair references Ikea furniture ideology and is designed to be a flat-pack; minimizing packaging and transportation waste. Cradle is manufactured from reusable and environmentally friendly raw materials including the glue used to form the initial plywood layers.
