BOX Chair
Timeline: Feb 2022 - Present
The BOX Chair is a bold and geometric lounge chair perfect for relaxing. With its bright and lively patterned cushions, the chair easily steals the spotlight in a room. Its extra thick cushions, angled seat, and wide arm rests allow for maximum comfort.
The Brief
Design and build a piece of furniture of your choice. Begin by writing a statement of intent, then creating sketch models, CAD drawings, presentation models, and mockups, and finally a bill of materials and detailed process list. Then, begin the fabrication process.
Statement of Intent
My goal was to design and build a one-person indoor lounge chair with the mainstructure of the chair being made of wood with fabric cushions for the back andseat. The chair is intended to be used as a place to sit to relax, and it is ideal for a livingroom, bedroom, or reading room.
