Concept of one of the projects designed for Casa Jasmina in the course: Design by Components (2017-2018) of the master in Systemic Design of the Politecnico in Turin.

1. Working & taking a break
in Casa Jasmina:
• Four areas for working
• Behaviors in working/rest area.
• Relationship:
People & object
Object & object
• Persona in CJ
• Persona who work at home
Group：WU

2. • More suitable chairs are
needed because the IKEA chair
can not fit most tables for
working(too high or too low).
• There should be a reminder
for taking a break during work.
• More entertainment is
required in casa jasmina.
Design requirements:
People may have different
actions when sitting on the
chair, this is the gap. We make
the connection between these
actions with the way playing
music.

3. Rotating Pad:
The sitting pad can
be rotated, which
will influence the
pitch and tempo of
the sounds that the
seat is playing.
Patting Area:
This area is the main
area for making sounds.
When patting the area
with different forces, it
will make different
volume of sounds.
Foot Rest:
By placing feet on
different parts of the
foot rest, the sounds
played by the seat will
change in tone and
pitch.
Together it makes a ’guitar’ seat, with which you can control the tone and pitch
by feet, play music with your hands, while making more changes with your butt.
Design concept
A seat that can interact with the
body parts, music as the output
and the way of entertainment.
