Rhino







Im happy with the actual chair design and the colours of the felt however im not completely happy with the way the texture has been applied to the chair unfortunatly i dont know how to change it an hope this gives a good enough idea of what i want. The dimentions are hard to see so im going to redo them on photoshop :) other than that  im quite proud of what ive achived using this software and love the outcome.

Been playing with some colour combinations of felt. i think the second and third ones are my favorite.

Felt

Ive been researching felt and the best felt for me i think would be an artificial felt (don't like the idea of animal skin/fur whatever!) these need to have a minimum composition of 30% wool fibres with the rest being artificial fibres. it would be difficult to produce a stable fabric with a ratio lower than this. This type of felt is needle felted.

feedback

Feed back went well and I think I'm going in the right direction to finalising my chair...from the drawings Ive done  one design stood out the most as having potential, the one with the bright centre (core) fading out to a lighter colour, I came up with this design looking at the photographs of explosions and adapted the centre of the explosion and the smoke around it into this particular design. Speaking with Neil Ive come to the decision felt would be an ideal material to use...

this laser cut style is the inspiration for the two mushroom cloud laser cut chairs i have designed



WHAT AN AMAZING ALTERNATIVE TO THE BASIC TATTY OUTDOOR CHAIRS I LOVE IT! APPARENTLY IS SUPPOSED TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU WILL DIE BUT I DONT THINK ITS SO SINISTER MORE PLAYFUL TO ME!

THIS IS SOOOO SCARY!!!

urggghh
