现今的公共场所常常人员爆满，寻找舒适的座位坐下聊天休息，是日常活动中再普通不过的行为了。公共场所中，舒适的座位有助于人们放松和减轻疲劳。然而，随着社交活动的不同，人们所占的空间也发生了变化。最重要的是，座位的性质应该迎合每个人的年龄、身材和性别。

好的座位设计能够促进人际交流和鼓励人们之间的社会和文化联系。

在过去的几年中，用于与人交流、放松心情以及闲坐休憩的公共空间急剧减少，因此对公共座椅的安排及替代方法的需求应运而生，这个座椅必须具有创造力和创新意识。重新创造一个符合大众偏好并适合其空间限制的座椅，这对于设计师来说是一个挑战。


挑战

竞赛面向所有的设计师、建筑师、学生、教师、工程师、艺术家和相关人士共同创造设计一个座椅，可以随时随地携带和使用。
设计的产品必须具有创造性，并易于使用，适用于所有年龄。座椅还必须适应使用者在其日常工作中的不同需求。
座椅占地面积不得超过1平方英尺。产品应当可以折叠、扭曲或弯曲，但必须符合给定的尺寸规格。
参赛者需要了解和分析各种人的行为活动与场景，以便设计出不可或缺的产品。

第一名：1500美元+荣誉证书+奖杯+出版物
第二名：1000美元+荣誉证书+奖杯+出版物
