Now that I am at the stage of concept development I have moved onto using 2mm mount board at a 1:5 scale. In comparison to the paper, the cardboard is not as flexible and at a 1:5 scale it is more truthful to the characteristics of the xanita board.
This design follows on from my “beach chair” in concept 3. As I have been having some trouble initiating my design I have decided to take a look back at the chair I designed in week 6 to get some inspiration. Though unlike my last design, this time I must be much more efficient with my use of material as I am restricted to a 1220mm x 1830mm sheet of xanita.
From this design I was able to come up with a general aesthetic for my chair, which includes a 300mm high seat with a 400mm high backrest. Though the structure of the chair is still in the stages of development as the seat has no form of support and therefore a locking system still needs to be devised.
