Emily O'Brien: Chair

 Ghosted View

   To design my chair I thought of the classic bar stool chair, with a few modifications. I added a slight slant to the seat of the chair so your legs can hang with comfort and getting on and off the chair fast is easier. As for the middle I played with points and lines in Rhino and after crossing several lines over and over I came up with the star-like shape for the seat.
   I used the polyline to create the general shape of the Bar Stool and added piping to the entirety of it. at the bottom I used the Extract Isocurve tool along with split to cut the harsh edges off of my piping and then used the Blend Surface tool to create nice and smooth curves for the base of the chair.  For the top harsh curves, at first, I did the same as I did to the base, but I found it needed a little pazazz so I added the spheres for a decorative look.
   The materials are mainly Anodized Rough metals in silver, blue and black. The curved base of the chair is in an old cast iron material.
