This is the chair I created and sketched according to the 2-point perspective method.
 
Design a stand that allows you to use your laptop more comfortably in bed.

Primary User Needs.
1) The stand is convenient to use.
2) The stand is easys to adjust.
3) The stand is compact.
4) The stand is multi-purpose.
5) The stand is pleasing to the eye.
6) The stand is portable.
One of the design explorations I used, decomposition by user needs.
In this case the needs were;
The stand is easy to adjust and the stand is compact.
Here are 10 design concepts I arrived at with my design explorations.

These concepts were arrived at combining the needs of the stand being height adjustable, and being able to be adjusted to different angles.

These concepts were arrived by combining the user needs of the stand being able to hold stationery and being able to provide cooling for the laptop.

These concepts came from exploring the user needs of the stand being easy to adjust, and being compact. Also some were a result of combining the needs previously explored.
