Andrea Carriquiry: Week 8 Chair

For this design i wanted to make something very clean, simple and elegant. Very minimalistic but taking into consideration, style, comfort as well as the aesthetics. I wanted to economize the use of lines, in this case pipes, in order to make a very clean and classy design. I decided to add extra pipes to the back and under the cushion in order to make it more stable and sturdy. I wanted to do a bench instead of a chair so people could sit or lay down on it that's why i named it "The Lazy Way".

For the logo i used the tutorial from blackboard, and decided to use my initials. I made it a bright blue anodized metal, so it would stand out. 

I used curves to draw out the contours of the chair and then made them into pipes. Then i did the same with the support on the back and below the cushions. I boolean all the unions between these pipes to make clean and smooth unions. For the cushions i used a rectangle, which i altered through the control points to make it rounder, and also filleted the corners. Later i extruded the surface to create the cushion.

For materials i decided to go with stainless steel for the pipes, as it is a sturdy metal that will never rust, as well as a black leather for the cushions to give it a very classy and elegant look, so it could be easily placed in any living area, because of the neutral colors.
