My blog don’t work for all this therm.

Than now I post this work for open source.

Sorry for the late.

As the final product for this class was to be a design that could be recreated anywhere in the world with a laser cutter my final chair is simple and quick to cut and assemble, but complex in its design and process. Therefore anyone can build it, but also anyone can change the steps of the process to create their own design. Here you will find the PDF explaining my project for the Open Source Design Class including the cut sheets and Assembly Manual.

Due to the maximum size of laser cutter, available at Iaac, the unfolded cardboard elements needed to be divided. The longest cardboard elements are reaching 2.2 meters long, so all of them were split into 5 or 4 pieces that fits into extended laser cutter printing area (96×46cm).

Below you can find two DWG files with two sides of the fotel v2beta. First file is having all the printing sheets for sections from 1 to 12 and the second one is having all the rest for sections from 13 to 24. Both of them have to be printed to fully assemble fotel v2beta.

To fulfill the requirements of the seminar, to construct the designed object out of cardboard, I created a script transforming parametric sitting modules into set of folded vertically flat sheets of cardboard. Script is parametrized for changing the thickness of the material and is also automatically distributing connections. Connections were designed as a part of folding cardboard, so that there is no need for using extra material.

During the design process idea of parametric coach transformed into set of customizable modules, which could be attached to each other and continuously reconfigured. Modules were created by lofting a surface between sitting parametric spline and two identical ending profiles. This resulted in a variety of customized sitting modules parametrized by users height.

This project is a continuation of second semester project at Scripting seminar (developed together with Monika Szawiola and Michal Piasecki). The initial idea was to create parametric script generating a coach which we missed at that time in our flat.

Based on that principle customization of personal sitting place was reached by scripting parametric s-spline representing sitting profile. This spline is parametrized by users height and their body proportions.

Some spaces have multiple personalities and have to do double (or triple) duty

While room dividers are.. well.. to divide spaces into different areas, I find them so much more effective as objects that add colour, interest, texture and atmosphere to a room

This dynamic space divider can be easily shaped to adjust to one’s unique living space. It can be opened by one person and can be folded and stored when not needed.

Also form many shapes depending on the usage ..even hanged on a wall

Great for creating an infant or child play area as a self-contained area

Simple and flexible easily conforming to any shape or room size

It can be covered with your choice of wallpaper, fabric, or paint
