Research: Beach Chairs

Chair One:

I like this lounge as it is low to the ground, has a low back rest and has an outstretched seat which allows the person to stretch out their legs. The lounge has been cleverly designed so that it can be folded up and carried around. If I could incorporate this into my chair, it would be a great form of branding. The disadvantage for this chair is that I am restricted to a 1220mm x 1830mm piece of xanita board, which means that the prospect of making a lounge chair is almost impossible.

Chair Two:

This chair has low seating with an adjustable high backrest. When propelled up (as shown in the picture) the person is sitting almost directly upright. The armrests are practical for when the person is sitting upright, otherwise are simply used to function the adjustable backrest. Once again the restriction of material means that a high backrest may not be suitable, though the arm rests could be something I could incorporate into my design.

Chair Three:

This is another beach chair with a more simplified design. The low to the ground seating allows the person to outstretch their legs in a comfortable manner and the low backrest creates a somewhat lounge position. This chair also complies with the material restrictions.
