Furniture Design

During a 3 week course at Central St Martins, Introduction to Furniture Design, I studied design principles prototyping and model making to produce a final Maquette. 

Using a combination of digital and analogue techniques I developed the 'Nautilus' chair. A chair composed of a series of overlapping parabolic curves, described by the envelope formed by the strings reaching from each sides of an axis.

The chair was given further aesthetics by trimming of the corners of the interior axis along a profile described by the golden ratio, also seen in the Nautilus mollusc.
