Design Idea


This is my design idea for the wooden furniture. This is first design that i would create on the Coral Draw considering the ergnome measurments. This is made out of cardboard used craft knive and metal ruler at the top of a cutting mat to prevent damage to table. The metal ruler is important for cutting because it is designed to prevent cutting fingers. The main point of this project is to make the design work using slots and nothing else. I have done this because this design can be rbiuld using the slots provided. 
Above are the measurements of my design idea. I have used Coral Draw to design my final idea. As you can see, i have measired the lengths and heights, so it fits the ergonom. In the Ergonom post, i have worked out the meaurments needed to suit the ergonom so it can fit the furniture comfortably. The first two images are the for the sides of the table, which decide the height of the table. This table would be used for the both reseaons of when the person is standing up and sitting down on a chair.  I will be designign a chair to suit the table above. The half- rectagualr hole in the bottom to designs are for the knees of the ergonome. The knees of theergonome could be in the holes while sitting on a chair. 



After talking to th teacher about the design, a problem occured. It was related to the two lond sides of the design and the two pieaces (bottom on the right). The problem was that after sloting together the pieces, it wont be secure and would move around. Therefore as you can see, the two pieces ( on bottom right) have two slots. This would make the table stable.

Ergonomics

This is the Ergonome measurments and i have done it by deviding the average person measurments by 5. This is because i was told by the teacher that the Ergonome is the size of a person devided by 5. I would use this for the designs that i will be creating because it will make the design suitable for the ergonome given.
