Transporter representations have been an important tool for communications and design since the beginning of time; it is referred as a 'etaphor' in the design methodological term. This form of representations helped us develop both intellectually and spiritually through time. Most words have been developed by a metaphorical representation of an object or a common form, which later transformed into a close representation of a word.

This form of studies into the mental development process brought about the creation of this chair, transporter. The inspirational form of a rickshaw reflect the importance of hardship, duality, social imbalance and instability. These words can be represented through the development of the chair by its form, shape, materials and construction tectonics, as well as the overall balance and equilibrium of the chair.

It is thus a phenomenal exxploration of the given theme, represented and developed into a chair, which helps to transport memories and emotions back to the users. transporter is a piece of furniture that protrays a sense of Asian historical and cultural touch.
