Sketching/Concepts
Designing the initial prototype involved choosing a definitive design. A full-scale prototype helped refine proportions and angles. Despite adjustments, stability remained a concern. Transitioning to a CAD model, measurements were mapped, and the final version began. Assembling one frame side and templating the other followed technical drawings. The frame was oiled, fabric woven. The final prototype emerged using laminated curves and solid cherry.
Production
