No possibility to make a sort of rocking chair?

[attachment=0:3lmldqfx]<!-- ia0 -->rocking.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:3lmldqfx]

good idea

@steved said:

no movement when it takes body weight, it flexes immeasurably BUT when it takes the weight it flexes enough so that the weight is transferred to the 'legs' with enough rotational flexion that it conforms to an uneven floor as a maximum BEAM load and not PIONT loads.

this sounds great , i did not realisedat first that could work this way.

@steved said:

As far as the rocking chair I came up with maybe 50 or so variables on the theme as part of design correlations process a few of which were rocking chairs. The only one that looked so right and so perfect is the version you have seen. Because I know so intimately every radius and curve everything else looked like a train Wreck.

last sendtence LOL

@steved said:

Just to correct you, product development it is NEVER not a frustrating process NEVER, but you just hope the outcome is commensurate with the pain.

it's about point of view, but i have to agree with you.

@steved said:

One last thing if the product was 'hit and miss" (beam no beam) the "platform would have to be twice the thickness = Train wreck!

please no.

ok rest in PM. jaryn

Lets start with fact,your product is perfect and everybody loves it .
I like your artefact and than i would like to know something about it.
questions:

1. did you use golden section rule for design your artefact?
2. second question

@steved said:

3. Sheet wastage is quite moderate, due to very, very careful 'hand nesting' in CAD(Why they need to be hand nested as opposed to auto-nested is a lo........ng story for another day)

does the sheet look like this? or i am completely wrong?

3. question and suggestion
i know design process of new product from its start to end, and i know that is very tough and time consuming process (sometimes it could be frustrating experience) and then please take these sketches as a questions at the begining of the design process than a suggestions of modification.

@steved said:

1. Yes I designed It from scratch (my discipline is Industrial design) the start point was solving an engineering/ Architectural problem for another design concept. This started off as a test piece to prove the engineering before attempting a more complex piece, but it got out of hand, LOL. Proportions were initially hybrid thinking intuitively compromising, between engineering, ergonomics, and aesthetics. The tweaking after that was VERY comprehensive and very resolved. It is not a deck chair though, it is an interior recliner. I have had one conversation with only one, high end professional who suggested that I should only produce 1000 of consecutively numbered and charge a premium , in the design/art niche. I am still thinking about that.

@steved said:

It is a vertical lamination. It is very light indeed (24kg) so lightening it is not an issue.
cheers and thanks

3a.i made a quick sketch and quick renders that shows recliner's modification (no lamination process and half weight). did you think that your recliner could look like this at the beginning of your desing process? i think that production is cheaper than laminated version (less material, less work, less machines)
3b. do you think that this could work?


4. question

@steved said:

2. CNC routing, water cutting ply will cause warpage the very enemy of this process. This piece was produced in a humidity controlled environment.

what do think if you cut it on laser instead of on CNC router? you get closed surface but with srange color.

@steved said:

The piece is about to be shipped to Sydney in about two weeks as it was short listed for final judging, in the 'Edge furniture design competition' at the international furniture fair where it will be exhibited.

good luck in Sydney .

@steved said:

And I am interested in some sensitive opinions for options regarding the upholstered component. I would appreciate input, if you would be interested in voicing an opinion (I can present the options to you, for comment)

i am looking forward to it. i work on deckchair and i have same problem .

last question please
@steved said:

feel free to IM me

• what is IM?

good luck on february in Syndey .

hi steved,
your piece of furniture looks just amazing , great desing a superb processing.

I have a few questions.

1. did you design it yourself? => where you get proportions of your deckchair?
2. how did you manufactured it? CNC router or something else (e.g. water cutting machine)?
3. i can see a lot of waste from a plywood boards - am i right?
4. what is wood preservation treatment in this case?
5. how much is it?
6. the renders doesn't looks good. have you tried Vray for SU?
7. do you share your models in 3dwarehouse?

thank you for reply in advance.
happy new year .

the animals are fantastic

your style is and always was something like....I dont know how to say it, maybe I could say SUPERB. thumb up.
btw - nice design
I have already created a folder for your NPRs .

@anssi said:

I think that the metal balusters in an otherwise wooden staircase are rather perverse.

Anssi

best selling staircases in Czech rep. are with stainless steel components.

@dale said:

jaryn
These are great.
#9 for me, but I would really like to see #2 with other colors as the concept is quite interesting.

something specific?

@daniel said:

I like the bright, clean look of no. 5. Not a fan of busy walls.
Why is the casing on the door head thinner than the casing on the jambs?

yes, you are right - I dont know how that happened. thx for notice .

@unknownuser said:

9 and 11 for me. The door handle and lock placed in the middle of the door, makes the scene feel out of scale, like short people would live there.

very short people .

@solo said:

#9 for me.

I just do not like the image used for exterior, needs a little depth blur and desaturation, maybe even a reflection to show there is glass.

yes, you are true. there is no glass in the window due to faster rendering. I am not satisfied with background image, but it always was my problem.

OK i give my vote to #10 image .

Entrance hall + staircase -- study [second edition].
SU + Vray + PS.

I would like to know which one you like the most and which one interior's style would you prefer in your home (if you have to chose) .
This is a study and I am trying different materials – I would like to know, how they match with the rest of room and how other people feel that
Feel free to comment .
