Well, it took a lot to get here. We presented our mock-up chair and our professor was, for the most part, happy with it. However he did want to see that all important back. We then set that as our main goal for the final chair construction. We spent a very long night working on it(even though I left early seeing as I came down with stomach flu or food poisoning that night). The result was something rather interesting. It had a back but it wasn't the best chair created. We learned from that design that with the amount of cardboard we were given the angle of the cantilever and the angle of the back cannot come from a single sheet of cardboard. Our solution was to take our mock up and modify it as much as we could to give it the illusion of a back.
It the end it was worth it all. The reviewing professors liked it, well partially, for the most part. They did tell us that the idea behind it was perfect, which is good to hear for me. We really had to work with the fact that we had limited cardboard and a back could simply not be produced. So the chair looks, pretty much, the same as it always has.
It might not have been the best looking chair there, but I loved every second of making it and am proud to call it mine.
