Tuesday's Class

Hey all.

Tuesday was a relaxed day in May's BDS102 class.  We gathered as a group and took a vote on what we wanted to do that day - and we decided to go with a work day, which was perfect for what I needed to do.
I had sketched a few ideas for new prototypes for my final "seat" design, so I was able to cut into my first chair and see what I liked and what I didn't.  I think I'm going to have to start over however, and make my final project more crafty and neat.

I definitely enjoyed the design challenge in creating our first chair with the constraints of:
-a 4x4' piece of cardboard morphed into a seat that when unfolded, comes BACK out to a 4x4' piece of cardboard.

This was a great exercise and I want to include it in my final seat, even though we are allowed to use as much cardboard as we like.  My final chair will include this characteristic (being able to unfold back into a square).  In addition, there will be details which relate it to the relationship between my stepbrother and myself.
