SHELL chair

industrial design 2. Chair Rehabilitation 5.0 supervisors: István Juhász, András Kerékgyártó vocational instructor: Csaba Szilágyi 2022 autumn

The goal of the course was a creation of a unique chair. It was based on an early seat which is called the Budapest chair. We had to use the metal frame as a base. My final seat and back surface were made of plastic so the object can detach by flipping. This is a single item. The original brown legs were painted loud and bright colors to be in balance with the neutral, rounded, and embraced areas. I achieved shape-forming and workshop skills through this project.

The practical process gave me various experiences, which were comprehensive and complex. The study and test defined the final body, which included the parts of the explanation and the functional features. I imitated the connection between the seat and the back. I observed the physical aspects of the form and frame, the balance and contrast.

The embraced surface aims is to give comfort. The rods of the back were hidden with the top and botton closing. The rounded shells have a fine radius which makes a continuous shape. The prototype was made with PVC foam which is the most useful material to show how furniture looks like modern industrial technology. To give an efficient fastening for the back I created strutting inside of the shell. The bright color of the frame and the plastic body is able for indoor and outdoor space also.
