Bar chairs have a certain elegance in the way we interact with them, through their shape and height. This elegance is influenced through the design by having a smooth and curved form. The three foot rests below the seat allow users of different heights to rest their feet.
This bar chair is constructed of 16 gauge cold rolled steel. It was designed in Rhino and then exported into the CNC Plasma Cutter for fabrication. All the pieces are hand bent and the perforations in the seat allows more control when bending the steel. In the end, the pieces are MIG welded. This was my first time working with metal and welding. Through this project I learned about various metal properties, connections, and techniques.
