Manifesto
I'm quite interested in the aspect of sound, and how sound such as music can manipulate/heightens the emotional state of mind. The theme for this project I'm intending to design is a feeling or a sense of closure and being consumed in tight spaces, i.e clostraphobia. However in some cases, being consumed in tight spaces will also provide comfort and a sense of safety.
My investigation involves:
- Field research the type of sound such as music effects the mood of the person. A survey maybe required to suggest the type of genre they listen to and how they feel.
- Internet research.
- Form study. If producing a product, it requires a type of form for the intention of design and purpose.
- Concept sketches.
Design outcome
I'm intending to design a piece of furniture, more specifically re-designing a car bucket seat. In relation to sound, intigrating speakers will provide the mood for the user depending on what he/she plays.
The bucket seat is essential because it has that form that I'm seeking to explore. It also has the feeling of being snug fit, which sucks you in and provide the comfort and safety as you sit on it. However, this piece of furniture will be stored within the domestic environment rather in a car, due to constraints and regulations that a car seat needs to be.

Now that you and Mei have teamed up I still need you both to post your joint manifesto.
Also consider the production of sound by the user or the piece of furniture and the interaction between the 2. As we discussed in class; a chair with speakers in it is quite boring and has been done a thousand times with marginal success. Need expand the concept.
