What do you get from 31 industrial design students working together yet isolated on the same project? You get 5 unique crazy chair designs!

The project is inspired by a children game, the folded sketch, in which each kid draws one part of a character without knowing what or how the previous or next person will draw theirs.

The resulting chair designs (from top to bottom, left to right) are: Voluptuous, Vicious, Awkward, Vain, and Androgyn.
