A 'machine for sitting'
-
I've wanted to model this chair in SketchUp for some time. The original, called a "sitzmaschine," or machine for sitting, was designed by the influential Austrian designer Josef Hoffmann in 1905. It's essentially a Morris chair, with mushroom-shaped knobs on the curved arms to hold a metal rod that supports the back. However, I never could pin down enough key dimensions to get started.
Anyway, over the weekend I got lucky and finally found some web sites that gave me enough information to try the model.
Let me know what you think.Best,
