This is the first concept I have worked on, i'm finding it really difficult to come up with original ideas that no-one else has posted. I'll keep trying though.

Habitus
This bar stool designed by Sebastian Jansson will be shown at SaloneSatellite next week. The stool was designed by looking at the formation of coffee leaves and then making an intricate geometric arrangement.
nuts and bolts
Just some other bits and pieces I wanted to put up here. I especially like the clothes rack that is on the wall and you literally just throw your clothes at it. Perfect for me! Just a couple of cardboard pieces as well

ENTRANCE
Both of these pictures show the entrance area of salone satellite. Both have quite a large volume of people moving through the space. Once again this area could provide seating, or more seating.

Another big show salone satellite is part of the milan design week. To me this show has more similarities with 100 percent design than with design made trade. Salone satellite has lots of big exhibits and provides multiple eating, indoor and outdoor spaces. So the range of furniture for a show like this would be broad.

SPACE
As you can see in the images above space can be quite limited when you get lots of people moving around the show. Although I haven't found images i think there would be at least a coffee stall or something similar in the space. For this i could design a small stool that doesn't take up too much room but still fits in with the overall theme of the show. Lounge type chairs could be designed for the entrance areas or chairs to fit into those circulation zones for someone wanting a quick sit down.

EXHIBITS
The space above looks like it is being used as a walkway but is also wide enough to provide rest seating.

ENTRANCE
The design made trade show in Melbourne is held in the old heritage listed Exhibition Building in Carlton Gardens. Although the space inside is large, when filled with all the exhibitors it can become very crowded.
The entrance area could do with temporary seating even if it is on the outside of the building. Space throughout the show could also be set aside as rest space and have seating provided. However it is important that the seating not be treated as part of an exhibit and actually be used for its purpose of providing rest space.

DINING SPACE
This is one of the dining spaces at 100 percent.
Areas like this can be designed in specific ways to change the way people interact with each other.

EXHIBITION AREAS
The wide open space here amongst the exhibitors could be used as a pause space with seating where you could ponder what you've seen and which direction you would like to go.

Tokyo's 100 percent design is the first show I am going to look at
OUTDOOR/ENTRANCE AREA
This outdoor entrance area is one of the areas that could benefit from temporary seating. People may be waiting for friends or colleagues and need somewhere to sit down. By placing seating in this area you can bring the show out of the walls and start it before you actually enter the show.
