Topic Two: Pattern and Ornament, Part 3


Quadrant Abstraction



Since my chair had a modern, futuristic look and adding that it looked pretty unstable mentioned in the critique, It reminded me of short story that I read about a year ago that played similar themes to my chair.

"Harrison Bergeron"

a satirical and dystopian science-fiction short story written by Kurt Vonnegut and first published in October 1961.
The main conflict in “Harrison Bergeron” is between the citizens of the dystopian society and the government that has imposed handicaps on people to make them “equal.”

So I decided to develop a narrative based on that story with direct relevance to my chair.
