+...SpLaSh ChAiR...+


The “Splash Chair” , and is designed by Michael L. Wendel. As you can see from these pictures the Splash Chair was inspired by slow motion water drops. The Splash Lounge Chair is sure to be a hit for any home, especially for people who want something different that will make their room stand out. Now for those of you who are curious how this chair was made, here is the explanation :

The chair was sculpted at 1/8th scale using Sculpey clay. From there, the model was cut into ¼ inch slices. These slices were scanned, blown up to full scale, and plotted to be used as a template for the full scale model. From there, the templates were adhered to 2 inch pink insulation foam, cut out, and assembled to the full scale form. Countless hours of sanding later, the form was coated in 4 coats of Elmer’s glue to protect the foam from resin. After the glue was dried, the form was sprayed with chopped fiberglass using a chopper gun. Once dried, the fiberglass was sanded down, then coated with Bondo. After sanding the Bondo as smooth as possible, it was painted with high epoxy glossy white paint.
