Danish modern
-
Just completed a model of a cane-back armchair, based on a piece originally made in the 1930s by influential Danish designer Frits Henningsen. He did handmade furniture exclusively, and is known for being an uncompromising crafstman. I worked from dimensions and images on the 1stdibs.com auction site.
Shaping the front legs required three separate Intersect With routines. Adding the cane texture to the back required the generous help of Dave Richards, who gave me a quick lesson in projected textures.
It seems that I've modeled a lot of chairs lately. They're more of a challenge than case pieces, but I have my eye on a serpentine-front chest of drawers that looks as if it would be a nice, simple project.
Let me know what you think of the chair.
Best,
dh
