3D Object Design

 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. Option 1: Wood + Acrylic Storage Bench/Chair The main concept behind this one is a more modern furniture take on something similar to a toy box, I got some inspiration from Daniela's designs she shared last week with the bright beautiful colours so I created a design for the chair to add more of a flair to a more modern chair design. The top of the acrylic the person is sitting on should be able to open from a latch connected to the back piece so the student using it can...

Week 1  a.) What did your team accomplish Our group chose a general idea of a concept they wanted to do which was an indoor furniture piece made for the school, which is multifunctional and made as a working space for the students. b.) What did you, personally, contribute? What was your role? I suggested 3 concepts for the group project. The first one I suggested was a wood panel chandelier, I looked into Frank Lloyd Wright, pieces that fit into each other, unique shadows and something that is more like an art piece. The second one is a light fixture with a mix of both wood and acrylic. The third one is a steampunk style interactive table that incorporates moving parts Then the group decided to come together and choose a basic direction they wanted to go for and do more roughs that would match that concept. I chose to focus specifically on the multifunctional use of a furniture piece and looked into some problems I usually have with stuff at AuArts. And my biggest pet peeve wa...

 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
