The groundbreaking for the new Shrem Museum of Art at UC Davis was held on March 1, 2014. Exhibited at the event were chair designs by Department of Design students Hydie Pavick, Alexis Agoustari, Becky Gmahling, Jamie Chen and Carmen Romo, who developed their chair prototypes under the guidance of Professor Brett Snyder (DES 50) and Professor Tim McNeil (DES 191).

The chairs are intended as furniture pieces for the future museum lobby. In the spirit of the museum architecture, the designs exemplify reconfigurability, contrast and a sense of making, all of them can be moved, flipped, manipulated and reconfigured.
