Obersavation for Week 3
1) How do the users use this design i.e. explaining the function and usage
Users are able to sit comfortably on this rocking chair during their leisure time reading, talking or even watching the television. Basically, this chair can be used like any other chair.
2) How do the users benefit from it i.e. advantages or USP (unique selling point)
Firstly it has a light on top of it. When users are reading books or newspapers in a darker area, they would be able to make use of the light. Since it is only a small light, it would not bother the rest of the family members if they are already sleeping in the dark. Secondly, the whole design of this chair is shaped like an arc and therefore, it can be used as a decorative item as well!
3) What can be improve
Although this chair looks nice but I believe it will take up more space then the usual chairs do. So maybe it can be designed in such a way whereby not so much space would be take. Furthermore, a small table could be added in front of the chair so users are able to put their books on top or they can even eat their meals on the chair. Because this is a rocking chair, the table should have a specific shape or dents so they the things on top of it will not fall off.

Good! Well explained observation. Keep it up!
I think the “arc” part is not just decorative, it allow the chair to rock back and forth. You can go a bit deeper into the make of the chair like wood and event the colour scheme. It looks like you are reading on a tree…
