When I showed my adapted wooden model with the arms to my tutor, immediately Michelle saw the aesthetics were wrong. The aesthetics of a design is dealing with the nature of beauty, art, and taste, and with the creation and appreciation of beauty, basically it looked wrong - too mechanical. Michelle said there wasn't anything I could about the aesthetics looking at this small model, so the next step was to make a full scale model quickly, with the same proportions as my wooden model -
This is the column made out of 9 layers of hollow grey board discs, the five larger discs measuring 420mm in diameter and 45mm in height and the smaller discs in between measuring 320mm in diameter and 45mm in height, with the top disc at 420mm in diameter and 75mm in height. With a square seat on top measuring 500mm by 500mm and 35mm in height. The total height of the column and seat is 430mm and at the widest point 500mm, I tried to base these measurements on those of a standard school chair for ergonomic reasons
This is the finished full scale model and is blatantly obvious that its looks wrong - the aesthetics need to be improved, it is also interesting to see the scale I am looking at with my chair trap
