Ideating

Inspired by a floating back design, I did rounds of sketches to bring that to life. I curated a mood board to organize my vision and was fascinated with the curve of a boomerang, which became my inspiration for the legs.

Ergonomics and Prototyping

After testing the ergonomics, I made small scaled models and created a one-to-one model. This helped me understand the proportions of my designs. I revised my designs using the feedback from user testing - such as fixing the tilt of the back to 108 degrees.

Design to Life

Using Fusion360, I modeled my chair to CNC the complex pieces on superior alder wood. Take a look at my build process by clicking on the video below!
