Bar Chair
The part that I looked mostly forward to was to see the combination of the materials that I planned to use for this project- concrete and birch plywood.
I tried to treat this project as if I was producing it in scale 1:1. The first thing to do was to figure out how to build the mould, what material to use and basically the whole process of the production.
So I started with 3D printing the positive of the chair base. I marked the borders of the two-part-form and casted it out of silicon.
To make the fragile edges of the base firm enough I mixed the concrete with glass fiber.
To make the seat I designed and 3D printed a negative mould to form the veneer layers. It appeared to be easier than I thought but I muddled through and beneath are is the documentation of each step.
The result..
