Esquisse Four

We played with the idea of connecting triangles using slits to create a strong supporting structure. Creating it in two triangles and one with a long strip which folds in to create the seat and back support. It was difficult because every part of it needed to assist each other.

Experimenting with measurements to create the right fold to make the seat and backing...

This is where we were trying to find out how it can fold and not lift up out of its spot, we decided to shorten the end part of the strip and fold it right in between the front card and the triangle on the inside. 
Final product along side miniature model...

It works!!! 

Esquisse Three

Firstly I cut out the strips of card and created the folds for each triangle...

Next I joined them with tape just to hold until everything is put together so it didn't open up...

Then I needed to create slots in between each triangle to hold it all together, both on top and bottom...

Once all it was altogether I took all the tape which held each of the triangles as it didn't need it and... Complete! 

I realized that the more triangles I could make out of the one sheet of card the stronger it would be. Creating something which is strong and secure needs many layers so that it all supports each other. Also making the slots neat and tight so that it doesn't move.
