SILA

WHAT
Sila manifests the re-examining of various sitting positions. It allows users to sit comfortably in various ways while maintaining the principle idea of a chair (to sit), elevating the user no matter how they sit.

WHY
Throughout history, it has been said that sitting on the floor is better than sitting on a chair, but somehow chairs are everywhere. Sila examines the design of chairs and how they are used, challenging the "proper" sitting position to uncover the colonial ideals placed on even the most simple objects.
