Design Chair

First year undergraduate of Mechanical Engineering in Imperial College London were required to build a chair using only cardboard. Pretty interesting huh! We were given 2 hours and 15 minutes to build it. The testing of the chair begun at 1115 hour at the department foyer. Some of the designs were really cool but when the fat ass sat on it, it failed:D

These were some pretty creative designs by the students here, just the appearance but not the function.

Simple and sexy

Stylish but yet to get the GBP100 prize

These was how the testing process carried out..


The king sat on it
