FINAL X-BOARD MODEL : HANGAR STOOL




LAY OUT



My final concept. laid out on the actual x-board size given, which is 1220 m x 1830 mm x 10 mm. Does not waste that much x-board, still has plenty of remains. Could be used to make another 2 sets of the curved foundations.

START THE MACHINE!!



Curve is achieved, pretty neat!




This is what i did!



Next, cutting the shape for the base foundation. I wanted it curved, but instead of peeling off the top surface, i used the method Justin told me, which to cut the x-board in strips then fold it. Worked perfectly and was not too hard to do



The foundation is done! stands perfectly, locking systems at the top work as i expected, now into the second stage!



Dimensions had to be very precise, otherwise, wouldn't close perfectly




Started out by cutting the top cover. Pretty straight forward affair, not much fuss, done in one try, although cutting out the joining part wasn't as easy as i thought. Managed to get this stage done in less than 2 hours, the joining cut isn't done too neatly.

BUILDING NEW CONCEPTS : CARDBOARD EXPERIMENTS




Really like this particular shape, unfortunately this would be quite big and might not be too comfortable to sit on or is it? plus the "shelving" on the side of it. This particular model initially comes from the same model below, just by opening the top cover and folded it






This one is pretty simple chair structure but the ribbing on the side, could may be useful? For putting stuff, like drink, books, food container, etc. The modesl is quite bulky, but with the additional function, it may well make up for its bulkiness





Simple structure but sure is strong, i added a horizontal line on the side, just to add more appearance or pattern. This, then evolved to the next model above, from a simple horizontal line to add a bit more detail on to something that could be useful and practical.

FINAL CONCEPTS



This is my concept for 'table + chair'. The table can be pulled from the chair to function as a stand alone table or when sticks to the chair can function as the seating. This concept is aimed for both outdoor and indoor placement, based on its versatility that enables it to be used in different
scenarios and that it saves space.





This concept is basically a short chair made from parts (as can be seen in the exploded view on the image. The idea was to firstly provide a strong sturdy foundation for the chair before i, then move on to the appearance. The idea with the three covers for this chair is to enhance the appearance as can be seen from side view, that there's some interesting line patterns going on. This is to be placed both indoor and outdoor area.





This chair concept is intended for indoor purpose, inside the event arena. The idea was for these to be near the information center or at the lounge area, where people would maybe do some reading while chilling. At the base of the chair, i was aiming for it to be used as a small storage, where people can put stuff in there, such as books, or drinks.





For this concept, my aim was to design for outdoor furniture, placed outside the event arena for people to sit and relax, while the colorful padding seat is expected to strengthen the appearance and give some 'funkiness' element to the chairs and especially when many of these are placed together, would be suitable for any event (appearance wise).
