Journey

This was the first time going through the whole design process. It began with research and concept development sketches. It then evolved to scaled models to understand material choice, manufacturing and proportion. A group was then formed to finish the design and build the chair. When finalizing the design the AR software, Shapr3D was used to understand scale. As a group a final cardboard model was made to evaluate proportions. Through using furniture templates and a build plan we made Natera.

These different stages evaluated human factors, build, aesthetics, and joinery during the design journey.
