Cardboard Chair Mini-ProjectFor this project, we had to design a full-scale, fully functional, aesthetically pleasing chair made completely out of cardboard; we weren't even allowed to use adhesives to hold it together. My group (Michael, Max, and I) ended up designing this which is basically a box with an X inside as support and some scaffolding on the back so you can lean back without falling. We spent a lot of time designing and re-tweaking that scaffolding because it kept folding backwards. The picture to the left is of our mini-model that was made out of a cut up manila folder. We were also going to build a larger model made out of cardboard, but when we tried, it kept collapsing so we ran out of time to finish it. Over all, I think this project went well, and if we had had more time, we probably would have been able to finish with a fully functional cardboard chair.
