RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The study of how to integrate several different materials of plexiglass, plastic, solid wood and textiles to create a chair, including the materials used in these processes and the environmental impact they produce. From this research, it was found that the translucent material of plexiglass can reflect the delicate texture. The textile fabric acts as a seat cushion and provides a comfortable user experience. Solid wood is suitable for use as a base because it is easy to machine. Solid wood can also reflect the texture of natural materials.
CHALLENGE: The challenge is how to integrate several different materials together. The properties of these materials are so different that they need to be assembled using a reasonable connection method to ensure the durability of the chair. The processing of red plexiglass is also challenging, both to ensure its aesthetic properties and to meet its strength.
