Another Frank Gehry inspired chair

Seems a lot of my college projects had to do with a favourite designer and again it was Frank Gehry. The brief again to design a piece of furniture inspired by the designer. I looked into all the different types of products buildings and furniture that Gehry designed to gain inspiration for the project. At the same time as this project we had life drawing lessons which I recommend to anyone to do. Our aim for one lesson was not to try and detail the subject but to draw it as simple shape as possible and this is what I drew.
Try to make out the shape of the body with the top right being a shoulder, down the back to the bum then up to the knee with two arms going across.





Final shape Think could be improved alot with the amount of material used and the shap of it

sustainable project: veXed glass table top





My sustainable designed table, made from old windows, from shops, transport anything really with reinforced glass. The table would be sustainable by the glass could be locally sourced for the table tops, making it have less millage to be transported to where it is needed. Environmentally friendly by it being recycled glass. The table legs I designed could be easily packed for transport making it cost less for them to be sent to where needed. Though i am not happy with the final outcome of the legs as i wish they were more decretive or maybe made out of wood or even old tables that have their tops needing replaced.
