barcelona chair

I have mixed feelings about this chair project....I'm excited to design it and I'm excited for the end product, but I'm a teensy weensy bit nervous about working in the wood shop!! I'm hoping and praying I'll come out of it with of all my fingers...
ANYWAYS, I researched the Barcelona chair.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE this chair! It's designed so beautifully and it's so simple.  I also love how modern it looks, though it was made over 80 years ago.  It was designed to be timeless, and Rohe definitely achieved that.  I really enjoyed reading about it's origins and how it was designed to accompany the interior of the German Pavilion at the Barcelona Int. Expo in 1929.
Im excited to start designing one that looks like it!

woah this thing is due tuesday??

ACK! Where did the time go?
hmmm what should I talk about...let's see. critiques yesterday.

I loved looking at everyone's books!  This project has been a really fun one and it's been really cool to see how other people want to show their experience. It was also fun seeing everyone pet my book :P I was hoping that would happen because that's really what my book is all about, and I want everyone to most importantly feel the experience since it pretty much IS the experience.

I think it was Jeremy who suggested using a collar as the binding for my book.  I really like this idea, and I'm hoping that I'll be able to use it while still being able to make the pages turnable.  I also hope that I'll be able to find some cheap collars at good ol' wally world :)

So that's about it for now!!

pictures from my book!

Alright, so here are some in-process pictures of my book that I'm working on.  I decided to go with the circle shaped pages...I don't really have a reason for this other than I like it :)
I bought some fake fur to put in various spots in the book....I'm SUPER excited for that!

This last picture here ^ will be filled in with fur, so you kinda get an idea of what it will look like.

I'm really excited! I've really been enjoying this project.
