We just started working in sculpture class on our final projects made of wood. I've always wanted to make a chair and I thought this would be a great opportunity to do it. Objects that have more than one use pique my interest so I'm making a chair that has more than one function. In short, it's a storage container that transforms between a chair or a small table.
Closed crate chair. AKA small table mode.
Open crate chair. The closed phase is on the right.
Once I had the design down I recorded the measurements and began cutting. The majority of the crate is made up of twenty five 2' pieces, which makes the process a lot easier than having many different sizes to deal with.
My progress thus far.
If you're wondering how I'm going to make this seat comfortable (or even sit-able), you'll have to wait for the finished product to find out!
Soooooo cool!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it can only function as one or the other. Do you have plans to make it function as both storage and chair/table? (mostly the storage and chair aspect) How far is the chair project? i hope to see an update when its done. I'm curious to the outcome. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteHey, Bry! The chair is complete - it's also in the foundation sculpture show in one of the SVA galleries. Once the showing is over I'm going to do a little photo shoot and show everyone what it looks like. As for your question, yes, it does function as both a seat and a storage compartment. The seat lifts up for storage.
