FURTHER DEVELOPMENT

This is where I got my idea from for concept 5. It reminds me of a puzzle in its method of assembling creating this almost "skeleton" like design exposing the chairs function and form.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

After brainstorming words which describe Japanese design; the words which triggered me are simple, geometric shapes and minimal these were the words which really drove my three concepts. The first originated from my Esquisse four, using the same technique to construct the shape and covering it with another piece of card to create a cube.

My second concept was really an idea which i stumbled across from just sketching a playing with the card. I found that its quite supportive especially with the addition to the triangles within triangles, to resolve the problem of the seat lifting.
This design was by far the most easiest and simplest, it only consists of two triangles and just from this scaled model it seems to be quite strong, using an easy method to combine the two using slots, allowing it to easily be packed down and great to store.
