Recently there have been industrial design displays throughout Cowgill and Burchard.  Different designs of chairs and furniture have been displayed and I think it’s really interesting to see the different approaches to furniture that all serve the same purpose.  A few chairs had really interesting elements such as a place to store a book under a reclining seat.  Another really interesting design was a bean back with the middle circular hole that could be removed.  Industrial design is a really fascinating field that has so many opportunities to alter peoples daily lives in something as simple as a chair or as complex as a car.
