Description
Designed to explore the potential of layering in woodworking, this chair demonstrates how the technique allows for intricate forms and versatile applications.
By adjusting the number of layers, it can serve as either a lounge chair or a dining chair, adapting to different needs. The lounge chair consists of 31 laminated birch sections, each 18.5 mm thick, providing a sculptural yet ergonomic structure. In contrast, the dining chair, designed without armrests for a more compact silhouette, is composed of 25 layers, maintaining the same seamless aesthetic and structural integrity.
Prototype
The prototype was 3D printed using the Sharebot One, with slicing performed in Sharebot Continuum.
The process begins with a 3D model, which is imported into the slicing software to generate the necessary toolpaths. The program is then transferred to the 3D printer, where PLA filament is used to gradually build the form layer by layer, ensuring precision and structural integrity.
Created by layering, where wood becomes movement and form.
