Week3 Furniture design
For our first project we are to design any eco-friendly furniture. Our group of 6 started of with a a small coffee table but eventually ended up designing for an egg chair. the most difficult part so far would be bilding the final product as the time limits constrain us slighty.
This was our initial design ideas for the coffee table. The main problem was that we kept on adding small details to the table which, eventually, made it imppossible for us to complete it on time, time flies when you're having fun, you even get carried away..
..in the end, we decided on a simple egg shaped chair like so, on top we show our design ideas, what we could include. below shows an example of our product taken from a magazine.

Here is an idea of what our final chair is supposed to look like. it has an egged shaped back with a wheeled base. If looked at from the top view, it would have an egg shaped feature aswell, like an oval. Sofas or cushions inside the chair would be made by clothes and tshirts which would be stuffed inside sewed shirts to give a soft feeling and pillow-like comfort.
The colour is yet to be decided but most probably, it would be a complete black or complete whit for the exterior and a bright neon colour for the interior.
