Series Two Chair
A Step-by-Step Project Journal of Joe's Design, Fabrication and Installation
Series Two Chair: Start of Fabrication
The chair starts fabrication with cutting aluminum tubing to match a side profile template.
Series Two Chair: Welding Parts Into Frame
Once the parts are cut they are welded into a frame and subsequent frames are matched to the first one.
Series Two Chair: Specially Designed Framing
The frame was specially designed so that the welds did not interfere with the formed panels that would later be bonded to this structure.
Series Two Chair: Stacking Frames
Here is a stack of frames for three chairs.
Series Two Chair: Water Jet Cut Parts
Here is the battery of formed and water jet cut parts from my supplier that will be the skins for the chairs.
Series Two Chair: Trial Fitting
Trial fitting of the skins on the frames.
Series Two Chair: Finished Side Piece
The finished side piece is also trial fit.
Series Two Chair: Hand Brushed Panels
Once the panels are fit they are sent to the anodizer or painter for final finish. We hand brushed this panel and it has a magenta color anodize.
Series Two Chair: Hand Craftsmanship
A lot of hand work goes into fitting and bonding the panels to the frames. That is Craig an architect friend of mine helping get ready for a show.
Series Two Chair: Finished Anodized Chair
