Term 3: Chair Making / Seating
Project: Open design project – chair, bench, lounger or other type of seating.
The chairmaking term will cover the process of drawing and design, model making, mock-up and final construction, including other components such as upholstery, Danish cord etc. Not only do appearance and structural integrity have to be considered, but also the interaction with the human form as well - is it comfortable and does it give the right postural support? Ergonomics – comfort, structure, strength and appearance will all be considered. For the purposes of this project, chairs and seating may be considered as both one-off sculpture or as prototypes for small-scale production.
