Eris Muller: Week 8: Piped Chair Sipra

 

            Although the chair is not entirely piped like most it still contains the same elements as a piped chair would. The name of the chair came from inspiration from the lamp. The pipes in the chair are meant to be an area where someone can prop their feet up onto and the pipes in the middle serve as a place where a notebook can be placed or another item.
           The materials I used are clear shiny plastic for the logo, nickel satin for the E on the logo, rubber # 2 for the chair itself and hard rough plastic (cream) for the pipes in the chair. I wanted a seemingly professional chair in the matte black as well as a flare of design to the back of it. For the other colors, the red is hard rough plastic (crimson red), the white is hard white rough plastic and the yellow is hard rough plastic (electric yellow). The bars in between are aluminum except for the middle which is hard rough plastic.
          The tool is used most in Rhino were the ploy line and the control point curve to make the general exterior shape. I pipe tool for the bars, boolean union to join all of the shapes, and split to get rid of excess lines.
