The Coogee
sway Chair has been designed specifically for the board walk area of Coogee
beach, although that’s what its specific designed for it is catered for all
foot path area’s located near water. The idea came across when people walk past
the beach, would want to relax at the beach, but was not prepared to go in the
sand, some people simply having a lunch break from work or just going for a
brisk walk. Having this sway chair allows the individual to lie down
comfortably, enjoy the beach, enjoy the sun, enjoy the beach breeze without
getting sand on you or wet.
The design
of this chair was made so that the individual is not entirely in a horizontal
position yet not sitting upright; this allows the person to be highly
comfortable in a relaxing position, yet still having the safety of being aware
of their surroundings. Something that had to be taken into consideration for
this chair was the safety, especially for some things such as ergonomics, and
UV radiation. Because of this the chair has been designed to have a UV tinted
Perspex sunshade, this allows it to protect you from the sun, especially seeing
as majority of people just “walking by” will not have appropriate sun
protection. The ergonomics of this design has been made to suite the human
spine without warping or distortion to keep the person as comfortable and as
safe as possible.
