A-2 Studio :: Summer 2009

The Chair Project

The students in this summer's A-2 Studio recently completed their first project, a chair design. In two intense weeks, they studied the human body, scale, joinery in cardboard, and furniture building. The end result was diagrams, models of joinery and chairs, a final full-scale model of a chair, and accompanying technical drawings.

In their designs, students considered issues such as scale, comfort, strength, design, and concepts. Most exciting, each chair was unique!
