Esquisse four - Material synergy


Background

Consider a balance between two materials, the interaction that harmonises the forces with a desired function i.e. seating.

Process

Draw the dynamic forces placed on a chair when ‘seating’. Consider how these forces travel through the object and where they concentrate.

Using only balsa wood and wire (no glue or fixings) you will create two scaled café chairs that demonstrate a balance between these two materials. Consider your previous esquisses and work your findings into your design.

Submission

At least two designs, that best illustrates your results. On your blog you are to briefly discuss the pros and cons of each design.
