The Camp Chair - In Pursuit of Sensuality

HomeIndustrial DesignMia Bohan

Covers stretch over the inflatable, binding to the frame. The tethering of the covers inform the shape of the body, allowing for fluidity in function.
The metal frame represents cis, straight and male gazes, and the forces these views have on queer bodies.
The inflatable inner represents queer bodies, constantly pushing at the constraints of the frame.
Each cover represents a different aspect of queerness, talking to the narratives shared with me throughout the project.

Bachelor of Design with Honours

The Camp Chair is designed as a commentary on the over fetishisation of queerness, and the stripping of sensuality that has happened due to this misrepresentation.

The sculptural furniture piece aids sensual exploration amongst queer, through enabling intimate individuality.

Designed for queer, by queer, this project aims to readjust and educate peoples view on queer sex and all of the nuances that happen within these highly fluid intimacies.
