About the final project for: Design and Conceptualization of a Chair
Secrets to Designing a Chair
“We have reached the end of this course, where we begin by discovering the nature of the chair as an object, its history and the great classics that have defined its identity. Later you accompanied me to know the most important components of the chair, and above all, how they are related to each other through the basic dimensions that I have learned over the years. I shared with you a list of 33 tips that have helped me a lot in each chair I have designed and I told you about my design process through the Camelia chair project, my most recent creation. I am sure that many doubts will arise, because each project is unique, but I invite you to take a risk and develop your project without fear, explore and discover new relationships between components, measures and secrets. I will be attentive to the forum, any progress you want to share with me please do so! Participate, get involved and learn about the projects of your classmates. Once again, I appreciate that you have encouraged yourself with this course, I hope it has been to your liking and you take a lot of learning. Congratulations!”
