Yamanaka swivel chair

shura

Hi,

Here is a model of a chair to share with you. Found it in a design book, hope you like it. Kazuhiro Yamanaka made this swivel chair called "How slow the wind". There is a version with textile covering and also one with lighting inside the seat.
I put it here to show the modelling with Artisan (can be made with SDS1 as well).

1 proxy

2 subdivided (3 iterations)

3 details added (nails, thickness with Projections Extrude Lines Along Vector, piping with Tube Along Path)

4 textured (UV Toolkit2)

Thank you James.
I actually just picked a chair that I knew wasn't too difficult to model. I bet there'll be more challenging stuff like "Model This" threads coming soon. I just like this new subforum on organic modeling.

cheers

Well, it can be a funny feeling sitting on an electric chair.

(But of course, the model is definitely superb)

thank you Gaieus.
luckily the trend with illuminated furniture has kind of passed, although in showbiz they make good tool sometimes.
