Challenge #6 – Spudmonkey - Chair - Page 4 - Scifi-Meshes.com

Focus, focus!

The hardest part of this challenge is the human aspect.. While we can't say with any given certainty how comfortable any of them actually are.. ergonomics information for normal people is out there and known quantities! There is such a thing as a typeform, there is a reason 99% of all forks look 99% similar to all other forks.. it needs to be that shape to function, otherwise we'd not use them!

oF course chairs aren't all clones of each other, as different types serve slightly different functions, but they all have to do more or less the same thing! Of course there's also the control element of this challenge! that's a lot more creativity, as that's where the scifi part comes in

Right, I think I'm done with this one for now. OK, so I'm bored of it and want to do something more exciting instead

Frack, I like the look of that!

Very nice! though isn't there a regular upright sitting position to it?

**Ramiel** · 06-16-2007, 04:55 PM

I like it, but, "ergonomically" speaking, I think your legs will hurt a lot in only few minutes!

It seems to have not enough support for... Well, your butt!

Anyway it is a nice looking chair, and looks also very original

The back and seat can be moved into a normal seating position, but it simply didn't really fit into the final render sheet and I preferred the progression from standing to reclined instead

Spud...have you ever considered furniture design as a full time employment

?

your chairs/tables would sell like nuts
