Cafe  chair  in  Paris

Stoping  at  a  Cafe  in  Paris  is  an  integral  part  of  the  of  the  Paris  experience,  for  tourists  as  well  as  locals.  For

tourists,  they  are  a  way  to  observe  Parisians  in  their  daily  life  and  for  locals  it  is  an  occasion  to  catch  up  on  

gossip  or  to  establish  their  place  in  a  certain  social  class.  There  are  different  types  of  Cafes,  such  as  the  historical  

ones  where  Picasso,  Giacometti  and  Sartre  frequented.  Others  that  offer  views  upon  the  city  and  give  an  aerial  

perspective  on  the  capital.  Some  come  with  the  intention  of  people  watching  (due  to  their  location  and  clientele)  

and  it  is  for  this  type  of  cafe  I  have  designed  a  chair.  inspired  by  the  ZigZag  Chair  of  Gerrit  Rietveld.  It  is  more  

contemporary  than  most  Parisian  cafe  chairs  but  also  add  more  functionality.  the  armrest  will  have  cupholders,  contemporary  than  most  Parisian  cafe  chairs  but  also  add  more  functionality.  the  armrest  will  have  cupholders,  

that  way  clients  will  not  have  to  continuously  turn  to  the  table  to  drink  their  coffees.  It  also  offers  a  place  under  

the  chair  for  tourists  to  put  their  bags  without  them  touching  the  floor.The  seat  will  also  be  wider  to  allow  

customers  to  sit  comfortably  in  the  chair  with  their  coats  on
