CNC chair

[phil_o]

I was in San Francisco recently and went to the Museum of Modern Art. Most of it was not to my liking but I saw a chair that had to be a CNC project. I thought I'd share a couple of pictures.

give me some rough dimension and i will make the plan

[phil_o]

I can see by your website that you have the ability. I didn't measure the chair when I was at the museum so the dimensions I am presenting here are based on chairs I measured at home. Obviously you can make adjustments as you are creating the plan.
The overall diameter of the circle is approximately 30 - 32 inches, height to seat is 16 inches, height to top of back is 30 - 32 inches.

and for sheet thickness?

[jsooter]

I would like the plans as well if you make them

[fabrun]

it is in my to do list
let me 2 or 3 days
it will be at low price

[phil_o]

A material thickness of 1/2" should be fine.

I'd be very interested as well! Thanks for jumping in here!!

[fabrun]

the start
before slicing

let me know what you think
thanks

[jsooter]

Great Job!

[phil_o]

Looks great. The legs in the original have a taper to them.

[fabrun]

ok, i will add the taper
it's coming:cool:

Look out for patent infringement!!!
You can base your design on it but you need to ensure enough changes to stay out of possible trouble!! Particularly since you sell the designs.

[fabrun]

even if it is in a museum?

[bleeth]

The fact that it is in a museum does not make the specific design trademark or patent free. Many companies make different versions of "papa-san" chairs but each is different enough to individualize their own version. With your talent I am sure you can do one that is based on the design as opposed to copied and have a great product!! You may already be ahead by not having the exact sizes of the elements, etc.
Just note that not all designers are as free with others using their designs as Sam Maloof was with his rocking chair.

[fabrun]

completed:cool:
a nightmare to add slot!

[jsooter]

That is awesome. I would love to know how you do that. How do you take a shape and turn it into all of those pieces? How much for this design

[bleeth]

Tres Bon Fabrice!!

[fabrun]

only the power of solidworks (and years of practice)

merci dave

[nepenthes]

That is awesome. I want to make one!

[eric_schumacher]

Looks pretty good! Not exact, but pretty close.

[fabrun]

i tried to change the design a little bit

people interested can email me (email on my website)

Made the chair 1/3 scale for my wife's dolls. Made from 1/4" cintra.

[jsooter]

Great Job! Is that really 1/3rd scale? That must be a really big doll..haha

[nepenthes]

Yup. 1/3 scale. They are about 22" tall.

[kra]

looks like the chair needs more curve in the bottom of the seat to be usable/comfortable but very cool design

[phil_o]

Very nice Randy. Was it easy to assemble, there are a lot of interlocking parts.

Phil:)

[nepenthes]

The hardest part was keeping the parts straight. Too many pieces that all look the same. Assemble was a piece of cake. I think on a full sized chair you would want to glue the parts together, but who cares if a doll falls on its butt.

I came across this article and it reminded me of this chair. Pretty cool.

[fabrun]

[galwaydude18]
