Images of final finished concept

Pros: -This concept is really stable with all locking system and support found underneath the seat which is where all the weight of a person will go

- I am really happy within the final look of the chair it is interesting from all sides
- There is very little waste as the concept aims to use as much of the material as possible
-The arm rest and back rest has really good strength

Cons- The overall look of the chair is beautiful but if you look underneath the seat you will find that some of the angles are not yet resolved.

FINAL CONCEPT

This image shows how the arms and front legs all fold underneath the chair, this is aim o create strength.

CONCEPT SKETCHES.....

I WAS VERY UNSATISFIED WITH THE FIRST FEW CONCEPTS THAT I HAVE COME UP WITH SO I DECIDED TO REVISIT IT... AFTER A FEW SKETCHES THESE ARE MY NEW AND IMPROVED CONCEPTS

ISN'T IT BOOTIFUL!!!

NOT SURE IF THIS WOULD BE TOO COMFORTABLE TO SIT ON BUT IT SURE IS AMAZING TO LOOK AT....

SEATING POSITIONS

After a bit of research i found that majority of people are more relaxed being seated at a lower angle as compared to a straight 90 degree angle, not only are they more comfortable but at the same time it has less strain on their lower back.
All images above simply show different people and different seating positions and it also shows how the majority of people are doing damage to their backs without realizing it.

AMAZING CARDBOARD CHAIR !!!!

CONCEPT MODELS....

These are a few concept models that i made, playing around with different shapes, forms and locking method... simply exploring on how far i could take different forms.

In this concept i have incorporated two armrests these could also be used as cup holders. The chair will be made up of 6 panels in total and will have extra panels inside for extra support.

In this design i started with a rectangular seat, stool legs are at 450mm in height the legs will at 85 degrees and will be held together with a jigsaw locking system.

CONCEPT FOUR

This design was inspired by aarnio-eero's screw table, i am using a hexagon shape with a jigsaw locking system.This chair will be used in a small lounge/cafe area for visitors to sit, relax and have a rest during the exhibition. It will be located outdoors replacing the messy and very unattractive plastic chairs and tables.
