DIONYSUS
Dionysus is a modern take on a chaise lounge designed to pair with the social and intimate experiences fashioned from wine.
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
How may we enhance the consumption of wine through the pairing of furniture to the environment?
What is the wine experience?
RESEARCH:
Gina Ippolito
Fine wine manager - Empire Merchants North
Upon discussion with Ms. Ippolito I developed a list of key features to incorporate into the furniture design that would enhance the wine drinking experience and meet wine etiquette.
Etiquette:
Sight
Clarity
Color
Brilliance
Setting
Thoughtful lighting
Wide spectrum lighting
White linen clothe for presenting
Minimal patterns
Ring Light to view color and clarity
Spacing Bumper to prevent pinch points
Exploded View
Inner Cooler to chill white wine
Orientation:
The fully blossomed chair invites people to a more casual and open environment for socializing. Whereas, when the two ends come together as one, the mood between those who choose to relax becomes more personal and connected.
