The Nero

20th Century Design Brought to the 21st Century

Given the opportunity to create any product of my choosing, I began to explore furniture design, researching existing products in the luxury market to design a contemporary chair with historic roots.

Inspiration and Ideation

Research into the topic led to gathering inspiration from furniture designer Charles Mackintosh with works such as the Ladder Back Chair (Hill House Chair) manufactured in 1903.

Modeling

With the concept finalized, the next stage was to take the sketch to Solidworks and start refining the design while working in three dimensions. As the process continued, the back angle was adjusted along with overall dimensions, as the sizing was compared to user seating anthropometrics.
