chair by Igor Levinsky from Igor Levinsky on Vimeo.

In this post I'll show you the last month of my work, I really had no time to post the last few weeks.

So on the 5th of February, we had the final presentation of the Furniture course, it was good. 

The last chair that I made of steel I did by my self in the work shop, cut it, fold it, and weld it. I couldn't do that in a factory because, I had no enough time, the factory needs at least two weeks to produce this kind of work, so this time, for the final presentation, I decided to produce the chair for real in factory. I needed to finish the design two weeks before the final presentation, which is allot for a regular design process in studies.

Worked on the previous version to find the right proportions and configuration.

1/3 model

Producing process:

Sittable chair

We have a pre-final presentation, on the next week.. We have to show two chairs, one presentable, that will show the aesthetic of the chair, and second seatable, to check the construction, and the ergonomic issue.

I's still working on SolidWorks, whit sheet metal.

V5.1

New twist, the chair hopefully will by stackable. Did it all in solid by Sheet metal. So now I can unfold it and to see the patter.

Have no really time to update the blog. working now on the right construction, have to decide about the material. It can be made of aluminum, plastic, or even ply wood. I guess that ill stay with the aluminum folding. that what I did in a last two weeks.

quick rendering just to see the proportions and materials.

I got it!

Finally after long sleepless week I got it, the new chair, I tried to save something from the previous moke ups, I took the back, the open geometry pattern, that make 3d surface when lock it.

So that's what I did:

I took foamed PVC sheets, from a garbage of some typography.

It has some print, and actually really like it, and the color is very nice, unfortunately  my phone camerra cant show the real one.

From this point I need to find the right proportion, and to choose a right technology, and material. Its can be a sheet metal, or press, or plastic mono block, or even ply wood.
