Chair.
In the summer of 2009 I designed and assembled this project in Copenhagen, Denmark. This is where I lived and studied. The purpose was to construct a chair using only veneer and glue. In addition, there was a limitation on the use of source materials. The chair was designed, molded and constructed during my last two weeks stay in Denmark. The rest of my time was spent traveling to Finland, Sweden and Western Denmark studying and researching the design and construction of the chair to be.

Travels and Research.
I traveled to Helsinki, Finland Stockholm, Sweden and Western Denmark, visiting museums and design showrooms.
In the outskirts of Copenhagen, Hans Wegner’s original workshop is now ran by his grandson. This shop was the most inspiring for me. Orders are put in years in advanced for a chair.
Ideation Sketches.
Since there was a limitation on the use of material, the actual dimensions of each design needed to be created before I moved onto the next design.
A 1/4 scale model was made with veneer strips, This helped me look at what kind of joints were needed to be made.

Mold Assembly.
First step in the process was to create the molds for the chair seat and legs. Steel, particle and mdf boards were the main materials used to create the mold.
With the mold assembled edges needed to be heavily sanded down so they would not rip the vacuum bag the seat would be molded in. Felt was added to the inside so the vacuum bag would form tighter around the mold.
The leg mold was cut for a steel strap mold method . Holes were drilled around the edges of the mold for the clamps to hook into during the molding process. Industrial Design Design || ari.jerue@gmail.com ari.jerue@gmail.com Industrial
Vacuum and Strap Mold.
The chair seat was made with a vacuum mold process. A custom vacuum bag was made for the chair. With my veneer layers cut and taped together, a urea glue was spread on all 9 layers.
With the 9 layers of veneer sandwiched together between the steel backed chair mold and a steel sheet, the vacuum bag sealed the veneer in tightly and it was then baked for two hours.
The legs were made by the Steel Strap method. I layered 23 layers of veneer for the legs. A steel “strap” was cut to the circumference of the mold. Urea glue again was used, this helped “hydrate” the veneer so it could wrap around the mold. Also put into the oven.
Chair Assembly.
When the chair came out of the mold it needed to be trimmed due to shifting veneer layers. A detail cut was made in the middle of the chair, adding a glimmer of light. Notches were cut into the side of the seat and into the legs to create an interlocking joint. No hardware was needed.

Market Research.
The market we focused on were business men/women who need to multi-task on the go.
We really focused on time management throughout the day. Bringing efficiency to everyday tasks will help bring the family back together faster.
Problem.
When commuting, rarely can people multi-task, due to having no service on the underground train or not being able to use your hands when driving.
Even getting your morning coffee can become a pain and make you late when the lines run out the door.
Staying late is a huge issue especially for parents. We wanted our applications to help take away the stress of staying late at work and getting home. Industrial IndustrialDesign Design| |ari.jerue@gmail.com ari.jerue@gmail.com

Hypengio.
“ Real life knocking at your door? We know. It scares the bejeezus out of us too. Now you have Hypengio!, the latest game of diversion from your loyal compadres at Madcaps! Hypengio!, is the ultimate callback to the carefree days of yore, a simpler time before you developed that slightly abnormal fear of all things responsible. The rules to Hypengio! are easy: play the game kick some metaphorical butt in a fast-paced battle for ultimate bragging rights, plain and simple. This ain’t a game for kids, but it surely ain’t a game for responsible adults, so check that so-called maturity at the door!”
Industrial Design | ari.jerue@gmail.com
Market Research.
A strong focus was finding a way to effectively interact in a social scenario. Our team through mind maps, found a link to be common childhood memories. We found telling had an instant comforting response when meeting new people.
Interaction was a huge part of the The next step was to focus on inspiration for this game. Hands how to operate the board and on activities became the solution. create the look. We wanted the style of the game to symbolize The final solution was a board candy bright colors. Emphasizing game. We wanted to incorporate on a black background to really childhood, playground activities pop the colors out. into a board game.
Inspiring Games. Early Sketches.
We found our favorite games and what aspects we loved about them so much. Candy Land has colored windy spaces, Craniumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colorful characters/pieces, Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spinner, and collecting pieces in Clue were what we wanted to incorporate in the game.
Game board designs helped us figure out how the player would move around the board and how they would end up winning the game.
Industrial IndustrialDesign Design| |ari.jerue@gmail.com ari.jerue@gmail.com
Piece Development.
Player pieces were designed by sculpting them in clay first to feel the weight and the touch. With the final designs made out of clay, I used the clay pieces to make a rubber mold that plastic pieces could be formed from.
A two part rubber mixture was poured over the clay pieces and hardened. I cut the rubber mold in half,took out the clay and then liquid plastic could be poured into the mold and a plastic replica was made.
Board Development.
Space sizes, orientations, and colors helped in the game development.
Final board. All players start in same place and they may move around the board in any direction. Characters, coins, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to doâ&#x20AC;? cards, a spinner, and collecting chips are all apart of the game interaction.

In order to win the players are to move around the board collecting chips and performing tasks when a card is to be picked up. There are other coins and spaces that make a player start over or can exempt themselves.
The “to do” cards are very active and are made to make the player embarrassed, laugh, perform and many more odd crazy tasks. The skull cards either take your turn or coin away.
Rules.
To win the players must collect all 6 coins. In order to collect a coin the player must pull three cards and complete them all before taking the coin.
When landing on a colored space the player must pull a card but they do not get to take a coin because of it.

S.A.L.
At S.A.L. Bikes our mission is to create products that grow out of extensive ethnographic research, relationships within communities, and the belief that biking should be accessible and safe for all people. We strive to work hand-in-hand with young Latina women to provide bicycling accessories which promote health and safety.
Industrial Design | ari.jerue@gmail.com
Market Research.
We went to multiple bike shops in the west side of Chicago, where our market thrives. Learning basic knowledge of what should be incorporated for everyday riding was gathered.
Looking at many fashion styles and reading bike blogs from Hispanic cultures made us see the potential of biking affordable bike safety accessories.

Ideation.
Adding reflective ware to popular fashion trends creates a safety product instantly. In addition this simple solution allows for a low cost product.
Many prototypes were made to test function and style for our users.
Final Designs and Dimensions.
Knitted arm warmers, leg warmers, headband, pin, and a scarf were the final accessories agreed on by our user feedback.
The design on the scarf is the design background of our logo and will be sprayed with on with reflective spray paint.
Industrial IndustrialDesign Design| |ari.jerue@gmail.com ari.jerue@gmail.com
Construction.
Reflective spray paint was applied to many of the accessories, including the zipper on the leg warmers. Arm warmers were knitted then reflective yarn was stitched around the edges.
Ballistic nylon was the material used to create the inner liner for the arm warmers.
Reflective yarn was sewn onto the end tassels of the scarf.
End Product
The arm and leg warmers each have one pocket to insert a cell phone or a bus pass. Promotional bike stickers were printed on 3m highly reflective vinyl.
Water tight zippers on the back of the leg warmers helps against weather obstacles.

I learned my target market needed to be children 3-5. This is an age where initial interaction between children truly begin. During this age is when many stereotypes take form, a perfect time to guide/teach multicultural education.
