INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE
FURNITURE DESIGN SELF DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED CHAIR location: OXFORD, OHIO type: FURNITURE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION challenge: THE CHAIR DESIGN year: JUNIOR SPRING
Furniture design and construction provided me with the techniques and skills to build and understand the construction of furniture. I learned how to construct a kitchen cabinet as well as a full size chair designed by me. I wanted my chair to be functional yet have a detail appeal. The whole chair is constructed of the mortise and tenon joint.
