Design Development 2

Development of Concept 1

I try to have another go on the design of the chair. In this design, it only consists of one part, which is then duplicated into 6 of them, and using slotting system for each other until the first part joins the sixth part. First, i did some tryouts through paper.

Then, making it on 2mm cardboard. The first image is the drawing of the templates. Then continues to the process of assembling the chair.

This Multifunctional Chair is designed for outdoor purposes, to give more relationship with nature, that is why it is designed quite low. As well as if the seat is taken off, the inside of the chair can be used as storage. The benefit of this design is that it is easy to assemble, and have multi purposes.

Development of Concept 2

i tried to make my 3rd concept from my week 8 Esquisse to have some curve to be more ergonomic, for two attempts. The first one failed, because i had the wrong measurements. Here are some photos of my first attempt.




On the second attempt, i tried to remeasure everything from the mistakes of my first attempt, and came up with this template. Some of the lines are to be scored, and some are to be cut.

Below is the final product of 1:5 chair that i tried to add curves. There are 2 parts which have the curvature : the edge of the seat, and the middle part of the seat, to create more comfortable feel of sitting. This chair consists of two parts, and these parts can be separated or joined together. If it is separated, the top part can become a freestanding sculptural form, and the bottom part can be a storage.
