My Finished Chair

Here is a picture of my Chair completely finished.

Finalization of Work

Here is adding the finishing touches and the finished product.




Continuation Back Support

This is just more continuation of construction of the back support and figuring out how it will all support well.




Chair First looks

Here is the what the first weekend of building made. I managed to create the seat and am now topping the back with cardboard supports.









Final Concept model

Here is the final concept that I have worked on. Now it is time for the real chair

Honing the final concept


Cardboard models

Here are the initial cardboard layouts I had in mind.





Power Point


So I decided to narrow it down to two chairs - I like the look of the barrel chair that Frank Lloyd Wright made for Wingspread, but I also like this chair that I already have. I may have to combine the two to create that piping and also have the comfortability. We'll see what comes of it.

Day two

I am still deciding how I am going to make a comfortable chair out of cardboard. I looked up some chairs online and looked at how the structure worked on all of them. Of course they were all wood and didn't need a lot of extra support but they showed me some basic shapes for my chair I will be designing.

Chair day one

Now that chair project has officially begun, I can't decide what to do. I have a feeling I would like to make a chair that is comfortable but I don't know how that could be done with cardboard. I could make a lounge chair or even a chair that you are cradled by to get that comfort. Maybe I could use a grid in the framework and contour it slightly? I don't know. Just some thoughts to think about right now.
