Furniture Design - Castle Chair


We had to make a personal chair in class, so I made a castle chair with a dragon wrapped around it. I picked the castle because I'm kinda spoiled, and I wanted to use a dragon because they're cool.

I wasn't really impressed with anything about this chair too much. I think it was too complicated for the small space I was using, and demanded more detail than I could achieve with foam core. I really liked how the body of the dragon turned out, simply because of the realistic texture that it was given from the wrappers I used on the body and wings. The chair was fun to make overall, but making the pillars in the corners were frustrating, and took up a ton of foam core.

Chair Assignment

We had to take the personal chair design we were making for class and try to create a 3D model of it in Google Sketchup. I thought it would be funny to make my chair look like a castle, since I'm like a princess, and can sometimes be pretty spoiled.
