Project Requirements • Design a piece of furniture (either a chair, table, or bench). • Research furniture design for ideas, past and present • Print out 3-5 furniture designs that inspire you. • Draw rough sketches of multiple ideas. • Once you come up with a basic concept, draw the piece of furniture design in 4 ways: front side, top, and in 2-point perspective, including dimensions. Include notes on the side such as materials, special features, etc. • Only upon approval can you start building your design in Solid Works. Extra credit options • Design additional pieces/accessories that coordinate with your main design, such as side table, sculpture, or lamp. • Design a textile/ pattern in Photoshop to give the surface of your Solid Works design a new appearance. • Build an actual 3-D prototype of your design. • Animate functions of the furniture (such as folding, expanding, etc.)
