Finalised "Core" shape





The core module that I have decided to use is the one pictures above, its curves are less intrusive and it has a softer overall shape, which I feel will make it work better when thinking of the position it will be in. Again I decided to look at the X frame folding chair and by using 1.5m think vac forming plastic I moulded this around a wooden block which I made using the CNC machine. To get an idea of how the shape would work I simply cut off the edges and used some Velcro to attach the plastic to the seat base. The results were very positive and I can now say that I have found the final form of the “Core” which is the term I will now use for the raised part of the plastic base.
