Abstract

Essence chairs embody a design philosophy that seeks to uncover the fundamental nature and significance of chairs through a phenomenological approach. Phenomenology, as applied to design, emphasizes the subjective experience of objects, shifting focus from their objective qualities to their essence as perceived by individuals. Essence chairs are thoughtfully crafted to evoke a sensory and contemplative experience, inviting users to engage with the chair beyond its functionality. By employing phenomenological reduction, designers strip away preconceptions and biases, enabling a deeper understanding of the chair’s essential qualities. The aim is to create chairs that resonate with users on a profound level, prompting reflection, connection, and a heightened appreciation for the underlying essence of design.
