Concept - Chair Design 2


In my second sketch idea I wanted to incorporate a new design involving; different print, different texture and materials. The beneath pictures show clearly from where my inspiration was deprived from. 



In the design I created, I wanted to incorporate the shapes Wassily had drew onto the chair's shape itself and make use of other patterns he had drawn in his own drawing. I also used wood instead of metal, drawing its texture and incorporating a colourful wave print on it.


Sketch/ Design created

I will be proceeding by sketching other interesting design's, leading me to my final product. Doing so, I will be able to finalize my research and create a bozzetto.

Concept process - Designing a chair


Designing a chair is seen as challenge as many precautions are to be taken such as; the ideal size, material, appropriate design etc. For one to construct a successful chair it has to be strong enough  to support the weight of an individual whilst being comfortable enough to sit in for hours as well as looking ascetically pleasing from every angle. 

I am to begin constructing on my ideas by sketching them roughly, once I have produced such sketches I am to finalize them by drawing my chosen, final idea on an A3 paper. From such a drawing, I can then create a bozzetto where I would be able to give the viewer a rough idea of the design in a 3D form.

A video was found on YouTube, showing the exact process one is to undertake to design a 3D chair.

Concept - Chair Design


Inspired from the beneath products my main goal was to  design and create a chair by combining all researched products together, that is; print/ design and an efficient yet simple chair model. 
















Design created 

Three metallic tubes are drawn, acting as the chairs legs inspired by Bauhaus simple, economical forms. 

Combining such bright colours, multiple modern, linear shapes and forms I was able to incorporate the bright red colour seen in the movie the four feathers and Wassily Kandisky forms and shapes I had previously studied.

The above design was created for me to improve and experiment even further on my ideas. I will continue to sketch and study further models until I am satisfied with my design which will then act as my final product.

Orphism - Transformation



Between 1911 and 1914 a group of artists originated from Paris, practicing a form of abstract art called orphism or better referred as orphic cubism. At that time cubism was very plane and lifeless, as orphism struck it gave cubism a sense of excitement due to its use of bright and lush colours.



Many artists such as; Robert Delaunay and other artists which include; Marcel Duchamp, Fernand Leger, Francis Picabia and the Czech-born Franz Kupka. These artist's where all involved with Robert Delaunay which was the central figure of orphism. This form of art was based on the external world for instance; Delaunay had many paintings which featured the Eiffel tower. By 1912 Delaunay focused his paintings on abstract concepts along with Kupka. These were considered as one of the first abstract paintings drawn by French artists.

Concept - Transforming Wassily Kandisky Abstract painting



As Kandisky made use of multiple colours in his original abstract painting such as; black, whites and various other colours, I made it a point to outline such colours by transforming them into brighter ones. Doing so, I was able to outlining the importance of similar shapes and the sharp edges Kandisky had presented into his original work of art.


Kandisky abstract painting and my simplified original work of art

Inspired by Kandisky I have created and played with such similar shapes to implement my own shapes, distorting them in different ways, enabling me to engage and choose brighter colours into my upcoming chair design.
Being a fun, modern bright design I intend to continue develop on it to create a unique futuristic print of which I shall imply on my upcoming modern chair.

Concept



Throughout the past few months I was asked to conduct research regarding design, art and film. Many topics during class struck me which lead me to conduct further research and to commence writing on my new blog regarding; The Four Feathers (Film), Bauhaus (Design), The Young Sailor (Art), Consumer's Rest (Design, Wassily Chair (Design) and an abstract painting of Wassily Kandisky (Art).

 Whilst conducting my research I commenced brain storming about all the topics I have previously spoken about, all influencing me in many ways though their modern shapes, colours and textures. The utter concept I came up with involves the creation and development of my own modern, contemporary, state of the art chair. By combining all my privies studies such as; the bright red colours, multiple modern, linear shapes and forms I would be bale to create an extraordinary futuristic suitable metallic comfortable chair. 

By studying, sketching and contouring various shapes I will be proving and implementing my various influences I have researched upon in my own product.

Futurism - Transformation




In the 1909, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti created an art futuristic movement. Doing so, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti was lead to commence publishing his own Manifesto’s regarding futurism.

 The proposal and purpose of the creation of the Futuristic movement was to celebrate art, the modern industrial world and the progress within technology. 

Since then Futurism grew further and many artist commence showing further interest as the industrialisation swept across Italy. This lead to the expansion of Futurism, leading to a small group of artist's in forming a team to collaborate and experiment with vast futuristic shapes such as, Umberto Boccioni - inspired by speed and the human figure, lead him to the distortion of such shapes, creating a futuristic sculpture.
