first-Year University Project
Duration: 10 Weeks
Duration: 10 Weeks
brief
Design and build a functional, full-sized wooden chair customized for your personal use. The chair must be suitable for everyday seating and designed with yourself as the client in mind. You will receive a fixed quantity of wood and must work within this allocation without incorporating additional materials. All joints must rely on mechanical fixings such as screws or bolts, as glue is not allowed. This ensures the chair can be flat-packed for transport and reassembly. The construction process should be achievable using fundamental woodworking tools like saws and drills, keeping fabrication simple and efficient.
