Equisse 3

I made 3 different variations of my plant by firstly creating a basic modular pod and then combining them in several ways to create interesting forms.

Esquisse 3 - photo documentation

Esquisse 2 - photos of final model

These photos document the developmental process of my cardboard structure. The end structure weighs 149 grams and is able to hold my body weight.

Esquisse 2 - Explorative sketches

NGV Visit

These are some of my sketches from the NGV visit. I have sketched down particular details and forms from the displayed furniture designs that interested me. I was intrigued into further researching these forms in terms of how they were manufactured and the reasons they were used.

Some international examples of cardboard furniture

I am particularly interested in the locking systems that the designers used to created these chairs and the strengthening methods used, such as repetition and triangulation of the folds.
