Speculative Investigation

The first in a series of designs influenced by the analytical results of the “24X7@PHL” drawings series, the 24X7 Stacking (Adirondack) Lounge is designed as a stacking lounge for use within the Terminal B-C connector at Philadelphia International Airport.

The formal design of the chair comes from the aggregate shapes found in the “24X7@PHL” animations combined with the ergonomic shape of the traditional Adirondack chair.

Designed as an environment of respite for those with connecting flights at Philadelphia International Airport, the materials are chosen both for their resilience in public environments as well as their reference to the aircraft from which the user will be watching out the window.
