Snare Drum Chair
Hard Maple, Snares - Fall 2009
Perhaps the most frustrating of all chairs to design and build throughout this Degree Project, the Snare Drum Chair is a piece that is conceptually influenced by the thesis of a couple of friends. I presented an offer to construct a piece of furniture for two Architecture students who are collaborators in their own work. Their own decision to collaborate in such an important phase of their education initiated my interest in working with them. My objective was to create a piece that would not only showcase my background as a Furniture Design major, but also demonstrate their ideas in a tangible way. The chair frame was very different from the previous pieces, and dealt with pitch and sound in a way that I am not familiar with. What was frustrating, but ultimately enlightening was working on something unrecognizable to oneself but so familiar to others.
