“identityLESS”
Are they propositions to monoBlok plastic chair or is it anti
design ?
It is an identity issue that we’re trying to handle…The
plastic chair has been placed the life we’re living..We have
stopped searching the reason and we haven’t found a
requirement of force to change it…Like all those furnitures
and objects that is in our life, we have made plastic chair a
piece of our environment..
Next to furnitures full of emotions which called “animali
domestici” by Branzi, we have tried to handle in our
project “identityless”, a question that how we’ve
surrendered to monoblok plastic chair..could it be given an
identity to it ?...Should it?..What was that we were
searching while we’re giving it an identity…our habits…
desires…changes…things that we have forgotten…our
choices…maintaining…sometimes it’s contrariness, praise,
our passions, impressionistic or a dadaist vision,
deformation, an ironic message or a kitch object….
The plastic chairs that we’ve confront in every place;
coffee shops, gardens, restrorants, our homes, seasides…
what was it that made it so popular?..is it just because of
its economy? How did they replace themselves with the
wooden chairs in coffee shops..is it that it can be storaged
or is it that it is light that made them become irresistible
objects of our lives ?
No matter what the questions and answers are, monoBlok
chairs were the expression of being without identity…the
plastic chair that 1 of them can be produced in every 70
seconds continues to fill our houses, offices, yards, cities…
however, the lack of emotional comunication with the
objects that are in our lives, can create empty spaces..
and it could be the reason to lose the seriousness.
Our project “identityless” carries a message that we have
to search a reason to our actions without reactions that we
confine plastic chair’s unidentities…
While we’re targetting the monoBlok plastic chair that has
no suspicion of design with my interior design students in
Marmara University Faculty of Fine Arts Interior Design
Department “identityless” project can be seen as a prova
that reminds the responsibilities of the designer. …
So finally, these are the redesign/antidesign projects that
we’ve made when we confront with the identity issue of
monoBlok plastic chair with my third year interior design
students…
