LABRA Experiments with Chairs

LABRA: Experiments with Chairs

In October 2007 interior architect Jouko Järvisalo will bring Labra, a design laboratory, to Design Forum, presenting new furniture designs and prototypes in different stages of completion.

Only two of the chair designs are currently being produced, while the rest will reach the manufacturing stage within the next few years.

Our senses provide us with information about the world around us.

We also perceive the world of objects with the senses.

The five main senses are taste, smell, sight, hearing and touch.

We also speak of the sense of the position of the limbs and the sense of balance.

The classification of the senses often leaves a gap between the body and the emotions.

A tense muscle will cause a tense mood, while a relaxed muscle will improve one's mood.

Nervousness or joy, however, is not associated with muscular sensations.

When speaking of the sixth sense we generally mean instinctual behaviour related to internal sensations.

Animals, in turn, have senses lacking in man.

Bats make use of sonar in perceiving their surroundings, while fishes have the lateral-line sense permitting them to sense vibrations etc.

Labra is an exhibition approaching furniture design with the "sixth sense".
