Softening the edges
One of my central ideas for the “Touch Me One” furniture series are the contrast between hard edges on the inside and very soft and smooth edges on the outside.
A systematic approach – design and templates for the footrest
When I was building my first chair I was amazed that I used a lot of time just measuring and drawing up each piece on the wood – and I didn’t even know if the visual ideas would work out in live size.
Inspired by my skills as a programmer and a logical thinker I set out to solve the task systematically and faster – without loosing the fun. Still sketching up the pieces in 1:10 and 1:5 on paper – but instead of drawing 1:1 sizes directly on the wood I drew it up on cardboard and cut the pieces.
A dream fulfilled – Touch Me One / Chair prototype completed
