This Process consisted of finishing the upholstery by using the staple gun the Workshop provided, a quick welding job of the back frame, polish and velcro the upholstery to the frame.

Design Brief

The chair is to be designed for a cafe within the Central Business district. The cafe itself will be clean, modern and with raised ceiling to create a void.

General tasks that may occur in the cafe will consists of primarily drinking hot beverages, eating, conversation, reading magazines and personal web browsing.

The target audience will be Businessmen (young to middle aged) within the Melbourne CBD.

The design should adhere to these considerations:
- Coffee stains
- General maintenance
- Comfort

Professional Design constraints:
- fit in a 500x500x500 box for transporting purposes
- relatively lightweight

- inspired by Renzo Piano

Personal Constraints
-Have a detail of transparency in the chair which will provide of the illusion of a bigger room. (iconic style of architect's furniture designs)

- Have the chair relatively low cost for manufacture and fabrication
