Splash Lounge Chair. Go Ahead, Dive In. - Yanko Design
Ever look at macro photos of water splashes or super slow mo' video of a droplet slamming into the surface sending ripples across a lake? There's a moment in that 1/10 of a second when the touch on creates a crater or sorts, as if you were small enough, it could neatly loving cup y'all. Inspired designer Michael Wendel created a i/8th scale model called the Splash Lounge Chair, large enough for u.s.a. to sit in.
How It Was Fabricated: The chair was sculpted at 1/8th scale using Sculpey dirt. From there, the model was cut into ¼ inch slices. These slices were scanned, blown up to full scale, and plotted to be used as a template for the full scale model. From at that place, the templates were adhered to 2 inch pink insulation foam, cut out, and assembled to the full scale form. Endless hours of sanding later, the class was coated in 4 coats of Elmer's glue to protect the foam from resin. Afterward the glue was dried, the form was sprayed with chopped fiberglass using a chopper gun. One time dried, the fiberglass was sanded downward, then coated with Bondo. After sanding the Bondo equally smooth as possible, information technology was painted with high epoxy glossy white pigment.
