A series of chairs made with the ”space-chain” technique. These chairs could be sold in kits, easy to assemble by the user. (Yona Friedman)
In 1981 Friedman wrote an article for a design conference in Helsinki titled A policy for design. Here he explained how a new policy for production could motivate people to become ‘producer-consumer-designers’ and fulfill their own needs with simple technologies far from the mass consumer market.
Themes: -simple technology
-polyhedron
-self reliance
