: Creachair is a design concept for a children’s chair, which will also be their play buddy and help them develop creativity, imagination, motor and tactile skills, which are very important for cognitive and physical development of a child.
: We were led by the idea to create a product that encourages children to express their emotions, experience many different tactile sensations, practice visual communication and participate with the design process from an early age. Creachairs are an open call for a playful collaboration and exchanging ideas between kids.
: This project is currently a design concept with functional prototypes. The next step is making this idea happen.
: The project started in Belgrade in November 2013.
: We were inspired by the fact that creative expression and tactile stimulation are very important for cognitive and physical development of a child.
: At the moment we are keeping all options open.
: To inspire children to participate with the design process, to learn and have fun while creating characters on their own in endless combinations. To encourage them to exchange ideas within a group of kids, and be able to have a playful time with their parents, too.
: Children of young age with their parents, friends and family, kindergardens, children libraries etc.
: Playing and learning features of the chair.
: The name Creachair is a combination of the words creativity, creating, chair.
: Every chair is assembled out of a seat, legs, eyes, teeth and leg covers, all of them in various shapes, colours and materials. Children can experience many different tactile sensations and ways to co-create a play buddy using velcro, zippers, buttons, clip buttons, laces… They can feel excited and content as they create new characters.
: New advanced materials and textile making technologies that enchase tactile stimulation greatly affect the way children respond and interact with the design.
: There are many researches on how creative expression and tactile stimulation are very important for cognitive and physical development of a child. The main aspect of our research was allowing kids to play with prototypes and carefully noticing their reaction and ways they interact. It helped us define the design of all the parts of the product.
: It was of great importance that the parts are constructed in such way that there is no wrong way of applying them. The eyes, teeth and leg covers can be attached and changed easily to allow the creative process flowing.
