✍️ Write here, on your own: put these in order from "definitely a chair" to "definitely not a chair": a dining chair, a bean bag, a tree stump used as a seat, a large rock used as a seat, a saddle, a toilet. Where does something stop being a chair? Does your definition from above put the line in the same place?

✍️ Write here: what makes something a chair? The designer's intention? Its function? Its form?
