A whole new concept...

After playing around with concept #3 and not being able to find a structure to support the design; while disliking concept #1 and 2, I came up with a whole new concept after playing around and folding scrap bits of cardboard together.


I began with a 1:5 paper model then moved on to create it in a 1:5 cardboard model.


I then wanted to make a larger model but only had enough cardboard to make a 1:4 so I did that instead. I added a joining system in the middle and a locking system at the top which is meant to resemble a letter 'D' for 'Design:Made:Trade'.


From this model I realised I will need a few more locking points to keep the top of the seat down but apart from that, I'm quite happy with my design at the moment. It does need a little extra something though...
