final design

























































































































developed mock up















This is my final design of my mock up but there is still some small changes that I need to do so I could start to do my 1:1 scaled model after i decided i have chosen this design.

half scaled mock up development
















This is also a half scaled mock up that i developed from the previous design. i was thinking to solve the problem of back rest but is abit too much and also complicated. So, i need to do another design.

Half scaled model that made of cardboard and wires but this is not the final design yet because I need to improve the back rest.

Esquisse Four - Material Synergy

This week we also asked to make two scaled mock ups of chairs but this time we did cafe chair using the same method, no glue nor fixing.















My first cafe chair design gives the feeling of confidence of balance and stabilization toward the user because it has more stands than the common chair out there and those stands are jointed with different locking systems which made by wires. The design itself add some credits to the chair but i feel that it looks a bit chunky and it doesn't have a place for hand rest.
















The second design of my cafe chair looks toward modernism. As you can see, the seat of the chair create the feeling suspension when seating due to how I bend the wood. Unfortunately there is a bad side about this design is that it doesn't have a backrest for the user to lean on it.
