visual communication and design unit 3

name the seat...
i am currently designing a seat for kids for unit 3 VCD. it is a hanging seat, which comes with a freestanding stand. it is similar to ikea's ekkore hanging seat. i don't have a picture for you as all my technical drawings are in illustrator files and my computer doesnt have illustrator as a program. so, the company is called "noah and belle interior furnishings" and is an up-market kids furniture company.

i'll give you a dollar if you find me a really cool name :)

haha you must have a lot of time on your hands to always be whipping out these cool websites and videos which you constantly blog about!

will do :) although i was using google translate and i wanted to name my chair "freedom" or something along those lines cos it's a free swinging seat.

how does google translate result in you getting the english word "freedom"? lol

or how about call it "Fragonard" after the french painter who painted the famous painting L'Escarpolette. totally relevant plus foreign names are always more exotic

according to wikipedia..

The painting depicts a young man hidden in the bushes, watching a woman on a swing, being pushed by a bishop. As the lady goes high on the swing, she lets him take a furtive peep under her dress. As a symbol of the loss of virginity, the lady has let one of her shoes fly into the air. Although women wore bodices and the like during this time period, they did not use underwear which insinuates that the man had a clear look at her genitalia. Also of note is how his left arm is erect, which is also meant to represent an erect penis but in a much more subtle way.

According to Charles Collé's memoirs[1], a young nobleman[2] asked first Gabriel François Doyen to make this painting of him and his mistress. Not comfortable with this frivolous work, Doyen refused and passed on the commission to Fragonard.[1]


and since my company is a kids company, i dont think this would be a good idea.. haha.

but.
L'Escarpolette
means the swing in french, so maybe just that is ok.
