Exquisite Corpse Chair 01

thingiverse

The Exquisite Corpse method was used to create this unique chair, with each player only given the top slice of the previous design to work from. Digital fabrication was required, along with open design files. The three players involved were Ronen Kadushin, Jens Dyvik and Nick Graham. Split into three parts - legs, seat and back - the chair was designed from the bottom up. To assemble the seat to the legs, you will need 8 x M10 90mm long bolts, plus nuts. The seat's back is CNC cut from 18mm timber/ply, while brackets are laser cut from 3mm mild steel. Fold the 4 longest folds first, ensuring both brackets are mirrors of each other. The remaining folds should be done away from the center of the bracket, with each fold at a 90-degree angle. Attach the brackets to the seat frame using M10 x 90mm bolt and nut for each bracket. The CNC milled parts for the seat pan and frame should be made from massive wood planks, at least 25mm and 12mm thick, with a minimum width of 80mm and 100mm. The dogbones are designed for a 6mm milling bit. Engraved text for the seat plank should be milled with a 6mm bit and 3mm deep. Acrylic parts for the seat should be made from 3mm thick pink, purple or similar acrylic. The legs of the chair are CNC'd out of oak, inspired by Phil Cuttance's faceture project. Remember to join open vectors once you have imported DXF files into your software. A sharp single or double-flute upcut milling bit is recommended for this project.
