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.
