The 'Afford Chair' concept has been designed by June Woo Lee as a furniture solution for use in public spaces that would provide a sitter with a dedicated spot to keep their essentials stowed. The chair maintains a simple, straight-forward aesthetic that is paired with a sliding storage compartment underneath that would provide a person with all the space they need to put items. This would prevent items from being placed on the floor, while the locking design of the storage drawer would require the upper seat section to be lifted up.
The 'Afford Chair' concept is imagined with a durable construction that is achieved using plastic and steel to allow for easy sanitization between uses to make it great for classrooms or additional public spaces.
