Lounge Chair
Lounge Chair
furniture - CONCRETE BENCH (left):
The base is made of concrete, the seats are made of bent plywood with a european beach veneer, and I used a material from 3from for the backs. The chairs are connected to a track that allows the user to put two or three chairs together to create a bench, or to take one chair and move away from the crowd. For optimal customization the seat and back material can be changed. The back can hold advertisements to local artwork.
ALUMINUM CHAIRS (right):
The seat and back are made of bent 1/4 inch aluminum. They are attached to a plywood base with a walnut veneer. The back, seat, and base can be made of any material. This allows the user to customize this chair to his/her needs. The simple forms allows for an ease of manufacturing. Depending on what country this is market to, you can make this chair out of their most abundant resource.
chairs and fire pit - The base can be made of concrete, metal, stone, marble, etc. The seat and the back can be made of wood, plastic, or metal. Having the base made of a heavy item keeps this outdoor chair from being stolen and also keeps it in place. The fire pit in the center has a base of concrete and sides of metal. The metal helps radiate the heat from the fire.
chairs - Each chair has a subtle characteristic change. For all three they each have legs made of bent aluminum or stainless steel. The seat and back can be made from wood, metal, or plastic. This allows for many different solutions.
personal banking system - My personal banking system allows the user to access his/her banking accounts, identification, and mp3’s. All the information stored in the personal banking system can be accessed with the touch of your finger. The information scrolls across the whole band. Use your index finger to find the desired information and your thumb to select. To charge this banking system you simply put it on its stand. That stand also doubles as small speaker to play the mp3's stored on it.
door module - The College for Creative Studies teamed up with the University of Michigan Dearborn to enter a competition sponsored by Arvin Meritor. My team finished in 1st place. The goal for the semester was to create the door system for a low mass vehicle to be marketed in southeast Asia.
Our team goals were to create an interior door trim that would be modular, to utilize all the empty space, and to make parking in close quarters more accessible.
I found this to be a great experience. I learned a lot about working together and how everyone brings something else to the table. It was extremely fun to work with the two engineer graduate students from
U of M. Getting to team up with engineers while still in school will help me down the road when I am working for a company.
