For this design the curved position of a reading person, sitting down, was examined. Three lines were discovered: one from the buttock until the knees, one from the lower back until the neck and one from the neck until the back of the head.
Out of the prolongation of these three lines a chair was formed, simultaneously shaping spaces behind the reader to store books and newspapers.
Not being used this chair forms a dynamic object in the space because of its diagonal lines.
This chair can be custom made, depending on the length of the body of the reader.

With the project House FDU'sel, David Dooghe graduated as an interior designer at the Academy of Fine Arts at Eeklo, Belgium.
At the academy David did several projects such as the performance and exhibition: Loft For Rent, the design of chair Tria, Shelter: the design for the 3 bunkers and the design for the House FDU’sel.
House FDU’sel combines the different scales of landscape, architecture and interior in an integrant design. The jury liked this integration of the surrounding nature in the architecture and interior design. Although there are strict regulations on the maximum surface that can be built, the house is spatial, by the efficient use of the space and the use of height and light.
David’s studio mentor was Wouter Cornillie.
David Dooghe chose to study interior design parallel to his study architecture to get more in touch with the scale of the human body.
