SPLIT Chair

LocationAthens, United States
University/SchoolAppalachian State University
Lead DesignerColvin Harvey

Designed with a focus on planar geometry and easily replicable manufacturing techniques, the SPLIT Chair is constructed from two sheets of ¼ inch aluminum. The chair's base is bent twice, with a 68-degree bend at the rear and a 72-degree bend at the front. I carefully selected these angles for the chair to not splay out when sat on, yet obtuse enough to add slight flex when the base is weighted. The angle of the back support, at a 147-degree bend, is designed to provide flex when leaned back on, a free detail due to material choice that adds to the seat's comfort.
