Lapis is a 2 week Long project which aims to give touch and go food eaters a streamline seating experience, where they can do without a table, and still be able to linger around to soak in the ambiance. Lapis features multiple subtle features such as a bag holder, arm rest, tray to either hold magazines or place dustbins and most importantly, a seat that follows the contour of the users. The name, Lapis, is inspired by the many functions of this bench, just like a thousand layer cake. This is seen in the illustration below.​​​​​​​

Pieces of the bench were firstly cut and sanded, followed by two to three layers of wood stand with 30s to 1minute of dry time in-between each other.

Assembling of the chair: For this project I decided to try using nails and wood glue to fully assemble the bench

About the mechanism that I have created — the bag holder pushed out once user sits on the seat and retracts when leaving. This is done by ball bearings and springs. This feature is to serve as a reminder to customers to not leave their belongings behind.

The addition of a tray which acts as a spacing, giving each user their individual space, and also a way to minimise the amount of interactions so as to achieve the touch and go experience. This tray also acts as a useable space for the owners to add dustbins, small pot of plants or magazine racks.

Final assembly of the veneer seats, armrest and metal support.
