Sway is a playful and relaxing piece of furniture. It is easy to assemble, and comfortable to use. Its dynamic design is ergonomic with three different purposes depending on the activity of the user. The joinery is convenient and simple. The "T"joint slides and locks the frames providing with lateral stability.

Process

Prototype

The objective of the prototype was to CNC three different connections from the frame of the chair to the wood slats.

These three connections had a different aesthetic, scale; they varied in methods as well as in Sturdiness. Two out of the three joints worked perfectly. However, one was more convenient for ten-yearolds to put it together.

What we learned from the prototype.

Due to the curved nature of the chair, It needed a closer handle to secure the user.

The curvature gave us a dual angle rocking system that encouraged us to introduce a stop system, something added to the final design.

The angle of seating of the wooden slats was too high, resulting in an uncomfortable seat. Therefore, We improved the seating curvature for a more ergonomic and gentle sloped one
