The Ripple Chair
  The Ripple Chair is a sculptural lounge chair that is made for a recharging rest by slotting and arching cardboard that follows human body.  The Ripple Chair is designed to help people relax while still keeping them awake and focused for the rest of the day. The shape is inspired by ripples in water, representing how our thoughts and daily experiences spread and connect with one another.MATERIAL MANIPULATION   Double Curvature Slotting, WeavingBy manipulating cardboard, I discovered that slotting it could create double curvature, so I decided to take advantage of this and make a chair that is comfortable, sculptural, and ergonomic. The weaved chipboard on top of the chair functions as a seating pad that creates a flat and smooth surface that improves comfort. The material also extends to the armrest, creating a shape that hugs you and holds you in the chair, with the supporting structure beneath.
