DESIGN





POSITION & FORM

The Wing Chair is shaped to support the body comfortably, whether sitting or lying down. The curved ends of the foot also make it easy to move around.





DETAILS

The mechanism includes a knob to adjust the pepper grind size and a top component that easily slides off for refilling peppercorns.





PROCESS





TUBE BENDING & TIG WELDING

Using SOLIDWORKS, I calculated the bend radius to match the tube’s thickness. Steel tubing was chosen for its weldability and relatively lightweight properties.





UPHOLSTERY

I used nylon webbing straps to test upholstery, which helped determine the fabric requirements for the final piece. For durability, I applied a saddle stitch technique and hand-sewed each strap to the frame.
