The Notchback AWFS Fresh Wood Competition Finalist - The process started with sketching and model making. Several sketches were made to determine form with physical scale models to give a three dimensional perspective. The first full model was created by thermoforming plastic around the mold to determine the scale of the chair along with creating patterns for the layers of veneer. The base of the chair, the legs, experimented with structural elements of bent metals of differing thickness tying together to sustain its structure.
