Alden Sofa Explorative Process Model 4/21 Pictured above is a tensional rope, three seater sofa, concept model. A fair amount of detail is achieved as the model is rendered in a fourth scale. The design is driven by the previous success of #stringback. Where comfortable seating is achieved through ergonomic weaving. Starting big, this model takes great liberties in terms of unique details. Look closely at the two tiered arm rest and the dramatic splayed front legs. These features, if pursued would have underwent great ideation to validate this extreme ornamentation. This series of twenty-one plus models helped lead to the creation of #AldenSofa: one in a series of alternatives to traditional upholstery. #Follow as I post the entire #process. #industrialdesign #furnituredesign #design #brooklynmakers #productdesign (at Pratt Institute)
