Lounge Chair

The lounge chair that I have designed is based on the simple pool chair that many see near pools, but there are a few distinct differences in the lounge chair. The lounge chair has a combination of geometric and organic movement. The base of the chair has a geometric shape for support, but the top of the chair flows more organically with the body so that it is comfortable to sit in. The base and structure part of the piece is made out of elm wood and the slats, or part of the chair you sit on, is made out of pine wood. The lounge chair is held together by screws, wood glue, and staples. The lounge chair was constructed in a way in which any glue, staples, or screws would be hidden as much as possible. To finish, the chair was painted chocolate brown with a clear, water-based polyurethane finish. The paint and finish help unify and complete the artwork. The lounge chair has a modernist style and conveys movement, while also having a strong structure. The main goal of this artwork was to create a functionally simple chair with visual complexity.
