Hi I'm kenny vanbrabant
and I am a student at the high school of Kortrijk

There I follow the training industrial product designer

I have been ordered to create a hammock chair that I can take everywhere

and less than 5 kg of weight has

In addition, they recommended to me to bend the wood where you have a hollow bottom Gets

the material necessities

2 clamps

2 O rings

Wooden Frame

As you can see I above a wooden frame made from MDF in doing so, I made 6stukken

1 pieces as support with the sizes 60 cm used as grain

2 pieces small pieces at the ends with the sizes 19 cm

2 pieces that are a bit longer in order to obtain my leaf shape with sizes 30 cm

1 large piece in the middle with sizes of 36 cm

In each piece I have a slot made where I can insert the 2 pieces which slot is in the middle of each piece and is as wide as the thickness of my MDF

Finally I have everything nicely glued with strong wood glue
