Project 2, Rev 2: Sling Chair
More comfortable to some
Visually appealing (“Less Cheap”)
Swanky Still folded Explored
alternative mounting strategies

Project 3: The Chair of Power Folding Director’s-
style chair Proof-of-concept for
alternative structural components
Fabric sling surface, numerous experimental structural elements
Ugly as sin

The Future
![Page 14: Project Grid Beam Week 5](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5493a3d7b479593d4d8b48b0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What now?
Expanded parts bin Erector/Meccano-esque
Wheels, Gears, Springs, Rubber bands, Fiberglass Rods, Whiteboards, Motors, Hinges, Flexible Surfaces, etc….
Modularity with existing furniture systems
Less bulk, more style How to make it look
great and work better?

How?
Literal expansion of erector set components Flat panels, both
structural and aesthetic
Use angles to our advantage
Continue exploring other surfaces and materials
