Esquisse Three: Form vs. Function




Form: This design is a simple cross over piece of balsa which locks in place. It then has U shaped (or 3/4 of a square) wire inserts which alternate their weave across the balsa, creating a seat.




This design would be difficult to manufacture, and the wire would need to be correctly spaced and not to tense on the seat area, for comfort reasons- it would need to give a little. However, the aesthetic is nice and it displays balance, line, shape and positive/negative space, which create interest to the eye.
