Representational
The role as a whole is represented as bicycle tires, tubes,
and wheels making up a chair.
The materials used may encourage a sense of excitement in a
user or viewer who is familiar with and a fan of bicycles.
It relates to the abstract level by being built with non-conventional
materials, symbolizing a bicycle.
Abstract
The wheels, tires, and tubes are functionally abstracted by
being curved, bent, and shaped into a usable chair.
Despite the materials being abstracted, the viewer will
immediately understand what is being expressed and be able to appreciate the
unique idea.
This abstraction symbolizes a wheel and at the same time,
the chair represents a wheel through the use of materials.
Symbolic
The chair maintains a role of symbolic communicative
purpose.
The chair may cause the viewer to reminisce about past
experiences riding a bicycle.
It relates to the abstract level because of the way it is
manipulated, this is not the natural shape of a wheel, yet it still is decoded
as one. Because of the use of materials, the chair clearly symbolizes a bicycle
wheel.
