I can honestly say, I really appreciated Niels Diffrient’s romance for the designs he thought of, as well as his simplicities to carry out these designs. At first, I was trying to figure out where he was going with the lecture. I kept looking back up at the title making sure I had clicked on the right video, but I was on the right one. He was just taking awhile to get to how his romance went from airplanes to chairs. He like many tend to lose their drive, but he still took the same motivation, but just directed it towards something different. His simplicity and “holistic experience” is what helped shape, in what I think, a great office chairs without all the bells and whistles. Too many designs sometimes comes with pages of manuals. I liked the fact and found it useful that this chair didn’t need rocket science to operate, and on top of that, the design was beneficial to varying heights, some weights and it was healthy for the body. I believe that Mr. Diffrient found a way to take his “loose ideas” and still have that same “piece of romance,” which helped to create a design so simple, yet holistic.
When asked to pick a favorite movie poster, I instantly thought of Stranger things. I love the color scheme of the movie and the time setting. The dark colors just mesh together in a complementing way. The eye draws to a missing friend due to the lights on the bikes pointed in that direction. The poster is just balanced.
