Final Presentation

Here is a collage of some fellow students work. Click in to see full size.
During the presentation Siobhan asked everyone what they'd change to the design if there was a second generation stage. I guess with mine it would be incorporating the pattern into the seat and perhaps work with the rocking stability of the form science.
I think I enjoyed this project overall because it got me interested in understanding material attributes (esp. something as unique as Mg) as well as overcoming the fear of calling up manufacturers. This project gave me insight into how different materials have different design possibilities and how new manufacturing technologies can be worked as an asset not a restriction.

Hey melody~ think for adding me to your blog list.. i'll def. add you!! ^^

Your stool turned out awsome, i think that the top of the stool should be made of magnesium and have the same pattern as the ret of it, using wood looks a little bit disjointed.[but i'm sure you know that already]

You drawings are SWEET!!! Total respect.
