Design challenges: can be sit
week 1: case study - chairs + design topic presentation
week 2: chairs smaller scale prototyping + sketches
week 3: chairs semi-prototyping
week 4: presentation
- Collect cardboard boxes and design a chair that prioritizes strength and durability.
- The key objective is to ensure that your chair can support a significant amount of weight without collapsing.
- When presenting your final design, it will be subjected to a weight test—so make sure your construction is robust!


Try to think chair in this way…..


What is it like?

Corrugated cardboard consists of two main elements:
- Flat sheet (liner), is the outer layer , which gives the flatness and finish to the board (white or brown (Kraft)).
- Wave (medium), is the inner corrugated sheet that “cushions” the shocks and gives rigidity. Each wave thickness is assigned a letter: A, B, C, D, E are the most common thicknesses in order from thickest to thinnest.
