Street vendors Grandmothers are out for a long time to earn a cold winter livelihood. In fact, our body's healthiest temperature is 36.5 degrees, and even if it goes down 1 degree, immunity drops by 30% and blood pressure rises by 0.2 ~ 0.3mmhg, and death from high blood pressure such as cerebral hemorrhage in winter is increasing. To solve these problems, we would like to present a warm day with a warm chair. In a market where there's no electricity, I thought about what materials could be used to provide warmth for a long and simple time. Here, the street vendor chose candles as a material that is easy to access, simple, and efficient to keep warm. ‘ WarmChair ‘ is a thankful and warm chair for street vendors who guard the cold winter streets. I give them a warm day through this chair.
