The child's toys attachment allow the kids to play with this chair and around it as if it safely without disturbing adults at dinner. While playing it can integrate into their learning through spelling and interaction improving mental awareness. As the child grows it will remember fond times it has spent with its parents setting up the blocks before dinners hence ill create emotional attachments. In the future the blocks can be removed, and the chair can be used normally. If even after growing up the child will be still attached to it, they'll keep it for they're own kids to use and play with.
Polyurethane Foam found in puzzle mats that are an ideal material for it is flexible enough to slot onto the chair. It's also soft soft so:
-it won't hurt children
-won't hurt adults if stepped on
-strong enough to last being continually handled by kids
Reflection
This task has revealed that it is indeed possible to make all products have a longer life if done correctly. The idea to integrate a new design into an existing one successfully will be challenging however rewarding. It would be much easier if a product were to last on its own without having accessories to go along with it, however it would benefit the products life cycle. Contrary to this is that new tooling systems must be made for the accessories and more logistics must be considered which in turn might even cancel out the fact the original product's life has been extended.
The group collaborative session, I believe was very constructive for it seemed as if it were a scaled down professional design studio. It gave a better atmosphere than working on a project alone.
If I were to design a chair from scratch the most important thing i believe is to know what customers what in their chairs and what they dislike. From this we can derive solutions for these problems and from hence forth a design procedure of ergonomics, market research and further developing can take place.
