Experimenting with Zanita Board









































These images demonstrate the experiements I under took in order to work out the right dimensions and cutting methods to create my chair. I looked at the 'Notch' fold mainly, as I have used this fold throughout my design. I also experimented with locking systems and tabs. Looking at how much of the material should be coming through the tab hole to support the required amount of weight when applied to the chair. As I was struggling with the internal structure, I also began looking at ways in which I could use the structure I had origionally designed and a successful way to lock it back into the chair so that it could all be held together. This is how I came up with the idea to wrap the material back over the back rest, as it seems to hold the whole chair together as one.
