DewDrop Chair
A folding chair so comfortable you will never want to store it away. But you can.
The DewDrop Chair is modeled after the iconic Director’s Chair, using its tried and true folding mechanism. My goal was to take this existing design into a new piece of furniture that is more inviting and comfortable.
curved legs and arms provide unique profile
allowed understanding of assembly
created low and wide form
needed proportions work to create stable and comfortable product

Final Model Improvements
Machining my own metal parts was the highlight of this project for me. I want more reasons to use the metal lathe moving forward and to keep learning new tools and how to implement them.
Assembling the final piece was the most time-consuming part of this project by far, but one of my favorites. Learning how to attach fabric to furniture securely is an entire project on its own. The sanding and finishing took several days to get up to my standards to be good enough to use on the final piece but it was worth every second.
