I proposed to design an acrylic chair, digitally printed with a pattern design informed by the rows and uniform content of super market shelves. I also had the pattern printed onto Duchess silk to make a throw to hang over the back of the chair.

Problems to resolve:
- How and where to make an acrylic chair? I was fortunate to find a local acrylic company, Clearly Modern, where I was advised by Paul Turner in the nature of acrylic and the design of the chair.
- How to design for digital print on both fabric and acrylic? I learned how to use Photoshop to create a digital pattern form my drawings. The acrylic sheet for the chair was printed prior to moulding, by a professional print company.
- Where to get the fabric for the throw printed and how to prepare the digital pattern? I found a local print company: Hadley Print, Lewis, East Sussex and followed their advice to format the digital files.
