Frank Gehry is a very well known cardboard furniture designer, one of his designs which is very well known and famous is the wiggle chair. He works with architecture and is one of the most important architects of today. According to my research, he enjoys to use unusual resources for his products. His designs of chairs and other such materials are often referred to as robust and stable which is why he is a very good architect in modern times. Looking at some of his various projects which are not always related to furnitures, it shows a repetition in the use of distorted objects.

The following picture is the wiggle chair which was designed by Frank Gehry:



There is another design of furniture created through the use of cardboard which I found interesting, a design by an interior deisgner; Edith Szilvasy.

 * Design one:** This design has both pro's and cons which can be pointed out with any difficulty because even though the design is very interesting, and is aesthetically good but it's main flaw is the capability to hold up things, when tested, the design failed to hold up a certain amount of weight. Some changes that could be added to the design would be to add good joints and connections in order to make it stronger, and when this is represented and created in real life, it could be a strong yet aesthetic design, but this needs to be worked on.

 * Design two:** This is a design that shows a very important idea regarding the importance of joints and the benefits of putting them in use. What I noticed about this design is the strength of the center point, due to which i think this can be something which i could apply in my product in order to make it successful and accomplish goals such as; holding up a 150lbs person. Regardless of that, this model needs to have been worked on more and I could have added other requirements from the actual product into this, which would have helped me brainstorm ideas on what i do or do not want to make.




 * Design three:** This was a design I came up with when i was playing around and experimenting the different idea's of how I could use paper to make stable chairs, this design has been able to fulfill some expectations from the actual product. Some of the things it has managed to do is to create a back support and in this design, the back and the sides are the strongest part, the weakness in this product is regarding the connection of the seat and the arms, this is a solution I will need to find regardless of whether I end up doing this design or not. This design also does not take up too much space hence will be suitable for my goals.
