Time To Get Serious...

As a class we were given the starting point Weapon

From this I intend to create a piece of furniture that can be used as a weapon in accordance to the Oxford English Dictionary definition being ' a thing designed or used for inflicting bodily harm or physical damage ...a means of gaining an advantage over someone else'

I will be using nature's defence mechanisms as inspiration, such as the Venus Flytrap and a spider web. This incorporated my 3D design pathway in which I will do extensive research into how nature works and how I can replicate this to create a chair that captures anyone who thinks the chair is to simply to be sat on

This will provide a good opportunity for me to experiment with different materials and mechanisms that will capture an intruder in the same way a spider catches its prey
