The Easy Chair - Self Assembly

A fairly straight forward procedure of assembling the chair. It does not require much effort, just a certain method of execution to make all slots & tabs stay in place.

The Easy Chair - Branding

The branding a chose for my chair was fairly simply but effective in the way i engraved it into the chairs seat. Although the Japanese Kanji only means 'chair' itself, it gives it a traditional aesthetic, complementing the background of the 100 % design conference in Tokyo.

The Easy Chair - Locking Systems

The locking systems that i put into practice are kept to 2 different ways of slotting, cross hatching for the structural integrity of holding 150kgs of weight for the inner components, whilst using tabs that slide into grooves for the outer components, these are situated at the base of the design & between that chair seat & backrest.

The Easy Chair - Template

My template for the 1800 x 1100 Xanita board was put together by fitting all the straight lined features (front, back & middle slats) horizontal with the board, leaving the excess space to be consumed by the awkward side profile shapes, 3 in this case.

Additional Things To Go By..

Before I start on my final model I must keep in mind the following:

- Cutting correct lengths in order to consider the thickness of the Xanita.
*Around angled edges & slots.
- Steady ruled cuts to keep a fine line along exposed faces.
- Account for possible sliding & moving of tabs.
- Do not cut my finger off.
