Cardboard Chair

FabricationTeam ProjectStructural

Assignment

Manifest a chair out of cardboard while abiding by the given rules and constraints. Completed with a partner.

What I learned

I learned how to problem-solve and find design solutions under pressure. During the project many decisions and designs didn't work out, forcing my partner and me to improvise in short time windows. In the long run, it strengthened our critical-thinking skills.

Improvements & reflection

Strengthening the chair overall — even though it triumphed in the test, adding more supports around the legs would have improved stability at the lower part.
