The purpose of the 100+13 exhibit is to honour the 100 years of Parsons and 113 years of interior design at The New School. Our project, “Reinterpreting the Archive” is to reinterpret, in any form, ideas from work made by past Parsons interior design students.
The following image is the work that I chose to reinterpret.
Daniel Lashen, third year student work, 1949/1950.
From this piece I interpreted that based on the drawing and date the yellow chairs are the Eames LCW chairs. I also interpreted that this space was a counselling office and thus the chairs should be more functional to this space. Therefore, I decided to reinterpret the Eames chair so that it would be more functional to this space today.
To create this image I drew the existing and redesigned chair in Illustrator. Then I added images of watercolour I did along with text in Photoshop.
