inspiration

1st week

hey...I did it again, its my second blog. Its going to be a blog that following one of the main courses, and as you can understand we going to design a chair.
My name is Igor Levinsky, I'm in the 4th year of Industrial Design department in Shenkar College, more info about me you can find in my portfolio, and you can also follow my firs blog that support my final project.

So in the firs class we were asked to choose one of this themes :
Ready made
Made in China
Open design
Hacking design
Resources
Every thing is a Remix
Super normal 

I guess that the theme that interesting me now is Open design, its actual and relevant theme that also can include another themes.

We also asked to find 10 chairs that we like, that inspire us. so..

It's took me much more time that i expected, I also needed to fined some "smart quote", so I choose this :

Design it’s not for philosophy, it’s for people.

Issey Miyake

We also need to find 5 "construction principles " so mine is :

- intersections

- folding

- bending

- strained

- geometric lock 

In one sentence to explain the idea of my chair (with out using noun words ), so :

Construction that can be cut with CNC or laser cuter, with geometrical locking intersections.

Stuff from the net, you can see some nice blog here .

Hands on....

I did this mock up, something wrong with the proportions, its too high, the thing that I like that the back can be 3 dimension, its too artistic, looks like butterfly.
