 Week 2 Our team has decided to split off into different subgroups for each individual part we have been assigned to work on, and I have been assigned to the design team for the chair component. Our team decided to split off into our own ways and create a design that we feel will work with the overall basic design the desk team had. And so I have created two different designs for the group to go over for our chair designs and rendered them so others in the team can see the type of style I was planning on going for.

 Scale Model I used the laser cutter in order to make my scale model of the rocking chair. I used the birch plywood that was offered in the Thing Tank, cut out my pieces and then put them all together. Overall the scaled size ended up being 15.5 cm because I scaled down my object 10x. I also changed my design just for the scale model in order to put it together more easily due to the small size. (Ex: Back grid) Here are some images of my scale model
