Continuing curve assginmnet 2

An example of the continuing curve is this chair called the  "la Chaise" by Charles and Ray Eames. This chair is described as having "exquisite beauty and functionality". I was designed by Charles and Ray in 1948 for a competition at the New York Museum of Modern Art. I believe that it is a result of the "sensuous impulse" because it has a feminine and seductive look to it which entices us to want to sit in it and to look comfortable. This chair appeals to our softer senses which is why I believe it is a result of the "sensuous impulse.
