Laptop Bags

Lap top bags are an item that almost every student has on them, whether they’re carrying a laptop or books. Using this item the idea was to give it a second use. As the student takes a seat they put their bag over the back of their chair they would use the lid of the bag as the support. I thought of this idea as when I was in primary that is when me and the other children use to keep our bags.

The lid of laptop back would have some kind of rigid support built into the lid so that when the lid is folded over that back of the chair it becomes part of the chair. This added support would mainly target supporting the lumbar region of the back, as most cheep portable seating does not have much if any lumbar support. By giving the user this added support it would hopefully encourage them to sit up straight and allow them to be more comfortable.

Frictional materials are also something that I would like to look at. With potentially using a material that has frictional properties as the outer surface of the lid, with would try and prevent the user from sliding down that chair, into the slouching positon.
