Lydia Batchelder: Week? Chair

The Peace Maker is a chair that I have been thinking about for a long time it would be a chair that mimics shapes of sails' and sailing ships. To do this project correctly I would need to explore the A-shaped frame form with many types of wood, canvas and rope. This rendering presents one manifestation of the design, each chair wold be done in collaboration with different designers only keeping the A-shape the same. In this way I hope to make a fleet of super connected, well crafted, and stylized chairs. When starting this idea I would ask to work with my father, Max Acevedo, Hank Woodward, to see what each of us could create.
I used some of the tools I am familiar with and some techniques that I'd used when re-making the rim into a pendant. I was able to create a curve, project onto pipe surfaces, split, and join edges to marry two pipes surfaces.
As mentioned previously I would mostly use the wood, canvas, twine, and metal to create the chair. Though the chairs would not be completely be dependent on these materials, the chair must represent that which is a nautical form.they should each be as unique as they are unified.
