Transcript of A frame power point
A-Frame is a sit+store solution designed for IDI Communication 3: Digital Skills. The idea is to create a relevant piece of furniture which can realistically address the needs of a tech-savy next generation of ‘net-gener’ young adults. These so called net-geners have less traditional ideals then their predecessors and require a completely new kind of functionality. The ideals to be met for this project are as follows: Storage for Tech-devices like I-pads, mobile phones and charging devices. Comfortable seating for periods of time while working . Stackability, storability, movability for small or shared spaces sturdy construction with a contemporary minimalist aesthetic and one defining characteristic which makes it memorable and likable Affordable and easy to make

A-FRAME
Selected concept for development I was inspired manly by the SHAPE of the A-frame construction language. Simple, practical construction, and aesthetically pleasing and conceptually adaptable.
A-FRAME
Technical Considerations Part of the charm of the A-Frame is the ability to open up into a table, chair & storage … then… Fold away completely flat It can be used for Hanging lights, cloths, bags, pot plants, WHATEVER THE WEATHER And can be used as a quiet place to sit and work
A-FRAME
Scale Model Paper, scissors, thumb tacks. I love this playful mini model making the most. It is the best way to DEVELOP A PHYSICAL RELATIONSHIP with the design and also is key to helping to resolve physical design issues.
A-FRAME
3d Model A-Frame has been 3d Modeled in Rhino 5. The main pro to
using Rhino5 is its ability to create natural curves that are not made up strictly with geometric arcs and lines.

Ergonomics Ergonomic requirements for the A-Frame are crucial. The seat should be padded somewhat but firm to give support as there is no backrest. I foresee the getting in and out of the seat being tricky but not impossible.
