Rationale : The PVSeat
The PVSeat chairs provide communal gathering as well as invitation for
use of obsolete products to create action with the lowest cost. The use of
obsolete drainage PVC pipes and disposed milk crates have created urban
furniture which was made to gather people. The linked shape of the seats and
the thought behind the flower beds which is to encourage families to meet at
their community parks and plant their own flowers in the flower beds.
PVC has been proven to be dominant over other noncorrosive and
nonresistant materials such as iron for the usage of water drainage.
The Australian Vinyls and Plastics Industry Pipe Association recommends
that PVC pipes to be used because the abilities of PVC pipes is very flexible
with technology and design features, which are relevant to the Australian
Environment which aims to invest in new equipment and expand the product range.
“This, along with other environmental aspects such as low embodied energy,
makes PVC the most sustainable material for sewer applications in Australia”. [1]
With rapid technological change and improvements in the Australian Vinyls
and Plastics Industry, many PVC pipes are being replaced by their improved
versions. [2]
Everyday 2,000 milk crates are taken out of the dairy farmers’ systems.
Dairy Farmers’ is running a Milk Crate Recovery Program which aims to recollect
disposed milk crates. These milk crates can be used to create the seating
surface of the chair.
The texture of the milk crate surface allows rain water to go through and into the flower bed with the aid of the chair drainage system.
