Chair Design The Paradiddle

Our last project was to design a chair, and then make it out of foam core. we first spent a class look at other chair designs online, and we each picked our favourite designer. we then had to do a presentation on some of our favourite furniture designers work. we spent a couple of classes brainstorming ideas as to what we wanted our chair to look like. once we got the design we wanted, we did orthographical drawings of them them from those drawings created our chairs out of foam core.

The purpose of my chair was to have a chair that you could sit comfortably on in multiple positions. On my chair you can sit on it straight like you normally would sit on a chair, if you sit on it on and angle you are reclined a bit, and if you sit on in sideways, you are laying down. the shape is based off the shape of a base drum since I play the drums, and the chair had to reflect our personality. The reason for being able to sit in it in all different ways, is that i like to  be comfortable and I can never stay in the same position for a long time, this allows me to be able to change positions and still be comfortable. I named my chair the Paradiddle, Paradiddle is a rhythm, you would hear a lot of drummers, play.
