Be4U History Assignment



















Esquisse 4: making of the chair and final 1:1 model










The making of the chair, construction and scale 1:1 model, which worked held weight!

Esquisse 4: Group chair design




Initial sketches and concept models

Here is our chair!! Alex, Mireille and I have created a chair with the team leadership of Alex and some hours of team work, the chair works! It is a solid construction with triangulation on the centre and a slot system to hold chair base to base and tuck in the sides and back. Tape has had to be added only due to transportation methods making the slots loose. We are all very happy that we made a chair in a week! 

Esquisse 3: Locking System



Locking system of cardboard: This I found a little challenging as my concept wasnt coming into reality as easily as idea had come, it juts kept folding and breaking! So this is final concept a triangulated system held in place by double thickness and flat rectangular structurers which the triangle system ahs been pushed into. It did hold me up sitting on it but I think it would collapse under 100kg if stood on it for more then 30secs!!!
