Using Raizman's two- fold definition of design, complete the following:
1. Find examples of two items that are similar in design. What elements of design have been altered to create the two unique designs?
A minimalist chaise vs. a classic Victorian chaise.
The classic chaise has very curlicue type lines and shape to it which gives off a very feminine aire and romantic shape; where as the minimalist chair has very stark, straight lines and a basic overall shape using all rectangular pieces put together. The stark white of the minimalist chair gives it a very (collequial) modern appearance and it has no detail which makes it stand out. However, the classic chair has broad sweeping curves and rich red and brown colours giving it a romantic aire that can only be related to a very high class woman whom would have used it to lay or "faint" against. Personally, I prefer the romantic elegance of the classic chaise compared to the stark reality of the minimalist chaise. While both are similar in that they have a backrest, an armrest of sorts and a long laying area, the construction of the two are very unique to each other and themselves, yet completely suited to the society in which they were created.
2. Using part 2 of the definition, list 3 more examples of this type of design.
A few more examples are:
