This marks my second design of the week. Two more this week and I’ll be caught up to the calendar! Anyways – on to this submission, my take on ladder-back dining room chairs:
Inspiration can come in the strangest of places - the idea for these chairs sprung out of some doodling I was doing during a meeting this past week. Although the back on the left bears a strong resemblance to a sternum and ribcage, I assure you I wasn’t drawing skeletons! I want to keep the “ribs” an alternate wood from the rest of chair, but I could see swapping light/dark and up/down angles to make any of four variations of the chair.
As an aside – I feel my 3D drawing is getting better. I still have problems drawing legs that are consistent and don’t appear bulky, but otherwise I’m happy about how these drawings are progressing. I have another design in the hopper that is pretty much square, so I feel good about how that drawing will come out. The design I’m cooking up for entry #10 is almost purely circles, so we could have an adventure in the sketchbook on our hands…
Very cool design!!!
Thanks! This is probably one of the few designs I’ve come up with so far that I don’t plan on building, at least not yet.
In my mind, chairs are a whole different class of furniture because they not only need to be sturdy, but actually comfortable! I think this “fear” would be the exact reason I should build them, according to Adam King!
