I like the idea of the chaBLE, but does the table half turn into a level, flat surface? If it does, then it looks like the only problem necessary to solve would be the elasticity of the table. It would be interesting to find the breaking point of the table vs. chair (how much force/weight it takes to turn it into a chair).
that's a pretty neat shape. You guys should map out all of the curves your chable can form along that edge. Maybe use either some soft or hard/smooth material for the joints? some small, already polished unit might work.

ReplyDeletethin washers between the moving pieces? I'm not sure what you guys are using right now.
ReplyDeletewere you also planning to just leave that bottom piece of MDF as part of the base or is that going to be streamlined?
I like this longer version of the Chable! You should make it at least as long as this prototype!
ReplyDeletethis was the best in terms of form i think. can't wait to get the next prototype built.
ReplyDeleteI know this is super late and maybe you won't be able to take any suggestions for the review but maybe if you pursue it for the future.
ReplyDeleteHow do you see this in terms of portability. Is it light enough that it can easily be moved or deconstructed or is a more permanent fixture?
As for elastic materials, i can really only think of springs or rubber bands as potential methods to return the chair to its original forms.
It looks really good overall.
