NGV VISIT and IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION

A classic is something considered to be the best of its kind. It marks a high point in development for later generations.
To facilitate your research and understanding of furniture design history, you are required to visit the National Gallery of Victoria to view their 20th century furniture collection. During this visit is expected that you will take photos and complete sketches of a chosen furniture piece in the collection. These sketches can be in any appropriate medium and are to be submitted with your research in week 6. Following the visit you are required to research your chosen furniture paying particular attention to:
- designer
- construction methodology
- manufacturing materials and processes
- when it was designed – context
- why it is important / why it is a classic

It is expected that you will become an expert on your chosen furniture design.
