Savannah Sears: Tubular Chair

Ghosted

 Rendered

My inspiration for this chair was the Brno chair by Mies van der Rohe. I wanted to make something similar to his designs because I like how modern his work still is.

To model this chair I drew curves and piped them for the base. For the seat I created two rectangles that I filletted and boolean unioned.

For materials I chose to render the seat in two different materials, black leather and perforated leather. I kept the tubes at a shiny metal for both renders. I chose these materials because I thought they looked best and also very similar to the original Brno chair.

Ceci Michelena: Week 8 Tubular Chair

-Inspiration Board-

This piped chair design was inspired from a combination of the pictures shown in my inspiration board. I was very inspired by the flower theme I had used in the ring assignment and chose to apply it to this assignment as well. I also added a table to my scene to complete the setup for rendering. I found a table to model and I made it in rhino.

To model this chair, I started with an ellipsoid that I rebuilt and molded by using the control points. Once I reached my goal shape, I created isocurves from that object to then create the pipes.

The material I chose for the chair pipes was brushed steel and the seat has a cloth material. the table is made of frosted class that I applied an emissive material to.
