Festivals and Conditions!1. Conditions

Rain is a main factor at festivals, especially in Ireland at such festivals as Oxegen, so the chair must be durable.

2. Transport

Transport of luggage is a big problem, due to long travels, and much equipment, therefore, the chair must be compact, and easily adjustable for setup.

3. DisposalAlot of camping equipment and rubbish tent to be destroyed and left behind for quick and light exits at the end of a festival, therefore the chair must be easily disposible and recycable to keep carbon footprints down.

My Mini Model Experiments!

This was my first model. The advantages were, it was easily assembled, however it was too basic and showed no creativity, also it was too “square” and lacked comfort.

1st Model

2nd Model

The positive side of this model was the rocking chair effect I was going for allowing the user to relax, however, when I built this to a scale of 1:5, it proved too weak on the sides, and also the slots coming across were too sharp on the body.

3rd Model

This here was my final design I set upon. The plus side was it was supportive with an enforced base consisting of 3 beams, two applied as a cross, and one running straight along the back. The second benefit was its comfort with the use of curved flats running along the back and seat. The only downside, is there is no arm rests or even supports on this 1:5 scale model.

These are the 3 different mini models I have based my main model on, all 3 mini models were made to a scale of 1:5, based on the full model being 700mm running horizontally and vertically.

The Final Model!
