Folding Fishing Chair
"This was one of the strongest prototype models I’ve seen for the second-year chair project, especially given the complexity of the multi-material approach and component assemblies." - Barro De Gast

Process
The process for this project was straightforward, focusing less on the planning and research, and more on the ideas, prototypes, visualisation and presentation of the project.
The major prototyping was done with CAD, with two physical models, one low fidelity, and then a final, high quality prototype.
Result
What resulted was a half-scale model chair with multiple useful features lending themselves well to the pastime of fishing. Some promotional posters were made also to sell the design.
