ChopChopChair questions the future role of designers by allowing users to create unique variations of computer generated chairs. The project began with a request to design a chair out of two simple wooden boards. We were intrigued by a thought experiment: could a system do this job for us? We wrote a script that utilises basic shapes to compile compositions on the wooden boards. The script generates endless variations to allow for new and unconventional designs. With the rise of creative systems, the traditional role of the designer could shift towards that of a curator. The systems creates, the designer selects.
