IMPROVING EXISTING FURNITURE
• Improve and innovate existing products design
• Finding solutions to produce more efficient products
DEFINE RESEARCH
PRICING AND CONTRACT
NEGOTIATION
FABRICATION
IDEATE
PRESENTATION
(process sketch)
(ideation sketches -> explanatory sketches)
DELIVERY
Clients establish needs
and expectations
through a brief
Designers get the idea of
what the client wants
Design options are reviewed
and discussed
with clients to define direction
DEFINE
process sketching
PROCESS SKETCHING
• A stage of visualising the
work
• An act of firming an idea• Very likely to be drawn by a
pencil or fibre tip pen as the designer explores possibilities
Figure 8
RESEARCH
• To undestand the purpose and environment of the furniture
• Refer to internet, books and existing furnitures
IDEATE
• Brainstorm a range of ideas exploring aesthetics as well as functional and mechanical aspects of the project
Ideation sketches Explanatory sketchesRefine drawing
IDEATION SKETCHING
• also known as freehand sketches.
• Use to evolve the design ideas and study the compositional aspect of the product
EXPLANATORY SKETCHING
• To explain function shape and structure of a design concept (refined version of ideation sketching) to the client
FABRICATION DRAWINGS
( construction drawings )
• Given by designers to fabricators for pricing and fabrication

• Determine the cost• Determine the time it will take to fabricate and install the
proposed work• Determine the scope of work• Establish the responsibilities of various individuals• Outline a schedule for completing and installing the
proposed work
SHOP DRAWING• A detailed construction and fabrication
drawing that shows the proposed material , shape and size , assembly of the parts and how the entire unit will be installed
