"designer david pompa created these design classic wheelchair designs for the vassal centre as part of his
inclusive objects series. pompa questions why design icons are predominantly for an exclusive range of our
society. to tackle this issue he added wheelchair wheels to a number of antiques and design classic like the
lounge chair by ray and charles eames. while the design is only a concept, it makes you think about the
design of chairs versus that of wheelchairs."
I understand it's social commentary but I've always understood a wheelchair to be a vehicle, not furniture. The only thing it has in common is the word "chair", otherwise it's apples vs. oranges.
With regards to exclusivity, people in wheelchairs are wholly capable of sitting and enjoying an Eames Lounge Chair or any other iconic chair. There are people in wheelchairs who are affluent, and pretty much live normal lives with the exception of having more challenging physical accessibility to some places. The argument falls flat for me.
Did I miss the point?

And
Its going to fall over backwards the first time someone sits in it. Not to mention, if you're going to use an iconic chair to make into a wheelchair, you should pick one which doesn't have a slightly colored history of dumping people ass over teakettle when the mounts give out. Just saying...
