chair from scrap

A chair made by using matrials that are scrap, that cannot be used for their primary fuction anymore. Chose an easily available scrap material i.e. newspaper. It was available in plenty. The second material chosen was coconut coir which was again easily available.

MEASUREMENTS OF THE INNER FRAME OF THE CHAIR. IT FURTHER GOT A LAYER OF STUCCO PLASTER FOR FINAL FINISHING

Before making the actual life size chair, we made a miniature model of the of the final product in order to overcome the shortcomings while making the final furniture.

Basic frame work was made with metal wire and the base was made of the plywood. The metal wires and ply provided strength to the frame work and the newspapers were used to fill the binding.

Final reinforcement to the whole structure of the chair was provided with the help of strips of ply secured with L brackets before the final finishing, for getting sturdiness to the structure

The product was finally given the final touch with Gypsum Stucco plaster, which made it easier for the human hand details to be carved out. The end look was kept raw and not painted to retain the orignality of the finishing material
