Furniture Design II

In this class I was taught by Kuntara Wiradinata S.Sn., M.Si. and the objective of mid-term exam is to make a chair.. we're given a free option of material, theme, and process of making (you made yourself or you just give the design to crafter).
I choose Flux Design become my theme, and my concept is derived from some falling leaves, that fall down feathery. so it make some articulation.. (just imagine it with use more fantasy -,-). So basically it's just a chair that each of its components are connected and linked.
ps. just look at some of Zaha Hadid's works. such guangzhou opera house, j.s. bach chamber music hall, etc.


For material, I use synthetic rattan for the skin, and for the bone use "besi isi 16" (I dont know what it's in English). I use that because synthetic rattan can transform depend on its bone..so if you want to make a round chair, just make first a round bone, then the crafter is only just weave the rattan. so, simply it already match with my concept. and it's looks light. isnt it?

Here is a pic of my chair, I will update and add the process "how to" later.

Internship

I've an internship program on this semester (7th) for about four months. This internship is included in UPH Interior's curriculum, therefore, every student must do the internship.

and I've some option on doing this. I can choose the consultant, when I start doing this, and when I end this internship.

I choose an architect based consultant in Surabaya, called PT. Archimetric Architects Engineers

I choose this consultant because of the principal, Jimmy Priatman, who'd won Kalyanakretya in 2002 from the President of the Republic of Indonesia. Jimmy is known for his energy efficient in his building. and here, I'm supervised by Ivan Priatman who has LEED AP BD+C certification.

I'm doing 3 projects of design planning -a church, a mixed-use building, and a hotel, 1 project supervision -a church project, and 1 project of RAB -an office project. all of them are located in Surabaya.
