Transforming the unconscious behaviour of sitting backwards in a chair into a purposeful action, the Hugging Chair aims to externalise the human subconsciousness in order to re-create a sense of comfort through the act of hugging.
With the chair acting as an analogue for human, this aims to investigate the relationship between human and objects. How can objects dynamically engage with sensory perceptions? To what extent can objects simulate the interactions between people? Can objects replace human?
