Multi-Purpose Chair

How might I make a chair that most people would like to use for multiple purposes.

This chair is made to fit the likes of as much people as possible. It has many functions that people would enjoy and can be used for many different things. The chair displayed is colored in black and red but that is simply an example. The chair can be many different colors like black and white, all black, blue and red, etc.

The 3D models shown in this presentation was made using Tinkercad.

The first phase to creating this chair was to ask people who would like using the chair what would they like to be added on a chair they would use for multiple occasions.

The second phase is the interpretation phase. In the interpretation phase you list all of the ideas you got from asking people and chose the most important ones. You list what you need to fix and what you are doing well and compare them. Add the ideas that other people gave you and redesign your design until you eliminate every constraint.

The third step is the ideations phase. In the ideation phase you need to draw a model using all your ideas that you have put in your design and then check if there is anything that you could improve on or something that you might have missed. When you find those flaws, make another design with more details and every flaw or mistake you had made before to make you design even better.

After you have gone through all of the phases, you are ready to move on to making the design itself. You have to start off by making 4 chair legs that have wheel attached to them for the chair to have mobility. Then add a pole to connect all 4 chair legs and put in vertically so you can then attack the seat of the chair to the pole. You need to make the seat be able to spin.

When you are done with the fourth step, you need to add a moveable pillow to the seat and armrests that you are able to pull up on the sides. Then, add 2 levers on the sides of the chair, The one on the left to adjust the back of the chair and the one on the right to adjust the height of the chair. Finally, and a leg rest that allows you to pull it out from under the chair and then back in.

After being finished the bottom part of the chair, add another cushion in which you could recline your back that goes all the way up to your head. Then add 2 moveable pillows that attach to the back of the chair (one in the middle and one on the top).

Now the chair is complete and you have your finished product. These pictures have many different angles of the chair.
