My final project investigates modular furniture through the design of an aluminum chair. The concept addresses mobility, adaptability, and longevity in contemporary living. The chair is constructed from laser-cut, bent panels that assemble without special tools and can be disassembled into a flat-pack format for transport. Its modularity enables reconfiguration into alternative forms, extending its functional lifespan.
Material research was central: aluminum was selected for its colour, recyclability, and durability. Surface treatments, including sanding and patina, highlight aging as a positive attribute, encouraging emotional attachment and long-term use.
