Maker Chair — Final Design

Building on the workshop, I developed the concept individually, inspired by organic forms and the potential of algorithms in design. The final form is an organic, tree-like lattice with diamond-shaped bone elements embedded into it, forming a truss that blends into the overall silhouette. Every part has a planar side so it 3D-prints flat and clean — a ready-to-print, numbered, easy-to-assemble set.

Branch geometry is driven by a space-colonization algorithm. Nutrient points P(x, y, z) are randomly generated inside a cylinder of radius R and height H — radius r = random(0,1) · R for uniform distribution, angle θ ∈ [0, 2π], height z ∈ [-H/2, H/2]. Branches then grow iteratively toward the averaged direction of nearby attractors; a kill-range removes points too close to a branch to prevent instability.

A custom LT / LB / RT / RB numbering system, plus an opposite-side index marking each element's position in the lattice matrix, makes assembly tractable. The whole design collapses into a single 'golden button' script: adjust the number of diamond elements, the chair's height, even swap the boundary surface — and the structure regenerates.
