Jennifer Slager – Sofa Final

My thought behind the design of the Line Sofa Collection was to create something that was elegant and sleak while not becoming too traditional.  My designs are based on the line and its vertical or horizontal orientation in space.

Below is my final power point presentation…

Ashley Hughes Sofa Materials

I choose my fabric from a company called Stickley. The color is a light spring green that gives the sofa a fresh look!

Fabric # 7237-41 Grade E

Grade E for this company is average price wise and quality..if anything it is leaning more towards the higher end set of fabrics

It is 26% pollyester–74% rayon

The sofa has 3 seperate cushions ( Not a tight back) and is 74″ wide.

Therefore the price of the fabric comes out to be $102.00 per yard.

For this sofa we will need at least 6 yards..( purchasing an extra yard of fabric always comes in handy)

I went to Toms-Price for a qoute on how much this would cost :  $102 minus 25% comes to $459.00 divided by 6 yards = $77.00  each yard

For the sofa wood and finish I decided to go with a Teak wood. I went to Chicago’s Premier Hardwood Source called Wood World and looked at imported teak wood for my sofa. Since wood is my main focal finish in my project I wanted a wood type that was perfect for the piece. I like the way the end grain and top grain give a texture to the flat wood.

Teak lumber has the rich color, tight grain, and resolute hardness only found in centuries-old teak. Age and environment have seasoned this wood into an incredible swirl of mellow browns, tans and silvers. This wood begs to be touched. Plantation grown wood simply cannot compare.

Lumber Price: $900.00

Cleaning and Maintenance For Teak Wood!

Treating teak with oils or other preservatives is not necessary for protection, and will not extend the life of your furniture. However, if you prefer to keep your teak furniture at its original golden color — instead of letting it weather to a silvery-gray patina — our Teak Maintenance Products can help maintain the wood’s hue:

• For stained or dirty teak, Frontgate’s Teak Cleaner is a strong solution that removes all accumulated dirt and grease from the wood’s surface.
• Often used in conjunction with the cleaner solution, our Teak Protector penetrates deep into the timber, dissolving away any remaining grease and dirt. The bleaching action of the brightener also restores some of the original natural surface color of the timber.

Care of Teak

Teak does not require any special maintenance other than an occasional cleaning. If left to age naturally outdoors, the surface of the wood will gradually change to a soft silvery-grey as the pigments fade. We recommend that you maintain the silver patina with regular, gentle cleaning with soft-soap flakes dissolved in warm water (not detergent).

Be sure to use a non-abrasive brush or sponge when cleaning, and avoid using steel wool or wire brushes. When finished, rinse the entire piece of furniture with low-pressure water to remove any dirt or remaining solution.

Characteristics of Teak Wood

Teak is regarded as one of the most beautiful, high-quality woods manufactured today. It’s a very dense, straight-grained hardwood with a coarse texture, high natural oil content, and a distinctively aromatic scent (often compared to leather).

Widely renowned for its durability and resistance to rotting, teak is almost impervious to the effects of sun, rain, frost, and snow. Its high level of resinous oil acts as a natural insect repellent, giving it a very high resistance to termites. Due to its hard-wearing nature, teak has been the timber of choice in shipbuilding for hundreds of years.

It is also a popular material for outdoor furnishings. Many other hardwoods are often marketed as “teak substitutes”, but no other material performs to the same standards as genuine teak.

Another popular trait of teak wood is its weathering tendency. Over time, teak furniture will attain a handsome silvery-gray patina. This process takes approximately nine months, depending on the amount of sunlight and rain exposure. During weathering, a slight lifting of the grain may occur on the tops of the arms and legs, and you may even see a few cracks. This is not considered a defect, but a natural expanding and contracting of the wood. The grain will return to its original smooth finish after the weathering process is complete.

Danish modern furniture that was manufactured in the mid 20th century had the advantage of being constructed of the best woods from old, slow growth trees. The designs were done typically in teak, oak, beech, and rosewood. With a minimum of effort and care, vintage danish modern furniture can still satisfy daily functional needs and retain it’s beauty for generations.

Care for this type of furniture is very easy. Teak wood most often was not lacquered. Only an oil was used. To preserve this finish the owner simply needs to apply teak oil occasionally, in conjunction with routine dusting or whenever the wood appears dry. Other oils such as lemon oil or mineral oil may be used as well but might require a little more rubbing to encourage the oil to be absorbed into the wood. These oils provide resistance to stains, and highlight the wood’s natural luster.The same treatment can apply to other types of woods that are not laquered, however the oil will somewhat darken the lighter colored woods such as oak and beech.

If a stain does appear on an oiled piece of furniture it can usually be removed by using an oil soap such as “Murphy’s”, and scrubbing the surface with an ordinary scouring pad like “Scotch Brite” or a finer steel wool. Rinse off the washed area and let it dry. Then apply the oil a few times until the wood regains it’s glow.

Rosewood was usually lacquered. This type of finish on rosewood or any other wood can be maintained with ordinary furniture wax or polish. Once in a while a rosewood piece is found without a lacquered finish, in which case it can be cleaned and oiled as previously described.

Traditionally, oak furniture from Denmark has a “soap” finish or is left in its untreated, raw state. Oak pieces can be cleaned by washing with an oil soap or by lightly sanding the wood (see below). The soap finish is applied by making a slurry with water and white soap flakes and rubbing it into the wood. After it dries it is polished with a soft cloth. This same treatment can be done to beech and ash as well and provides good resistance to stains in ordinary use.

In the case of veneers, be careful not to sand through . The veneers used to produce the vintage furniture however, were much thicker than is used today, so there is a bit more forgiveness when it comes to sanding. We always recommend trying first to remove any stain by washing, then if necessary, lightly sanding it.

About My Duo Chaise Lounge

Hey guys! I had the hardest time uploading my brochure which was saved as a pdf file. So I had to save each page as a jpeg. Unfortunately, It is showing my brochure pages in two columns, so the order goes from left to right and then back to left again. Hope your not confused looking at my stuff.

Jaime- Initial Sketch

I wanted to make a sofa that had a modern feel but also decorative elements, so i made the arms the decorative peice of this sofa.  I also wanted something comfortable so the depth of the cushions are going to be oversized and I would like to use metal for the legs.

Jaime-Sofa Final

I love the cushions of this sofa being so big and oversized it makes it look comfortable and inviting, I also like the dark color with a contrast of a bold accent color.

Jaime- Sofa Final

I like the high arms and interesting back shape of this piece, as well as the modern metal legs and the bold dark color.

Jaime- Sofa Final

I liked the curved back of this piece, but I do not like the boring, dull color or the wooden legs of the sofa.

Jaime Bokowy- Sofa Final

Inspiration Pieces

I liked the curve shape, thick bottom cushions, and modular seating elements of this sofa.

Week 9- Sofa Inspiration Photos:

I selected these photos because I wanted to keep the sofa in line with the same ideals as the entertainment center.  I will try to integrate clean lines, low horizontal orientation, and a retro or contemporary feeling.

Week 10: Sketches

After studying my inspiration photos I decided to create a loveseat that is a version of the chair from my grandmother’s house.  Here are the sketches I came up with:

Week 11: Elevations

Here are my final elevations for my loveseat:

Here are the elevations with overall dimensions:

There is a front, back, side, and plan view of the loveseat.  It is curved softly at the edges, but has a rigid back to sit up straight.  It will have firm, but comfortable cushions.

Week 12: Section and Construction

Here are my drawings for how the loveseat will be constructed and assembled:

Week 13: Material Selection/Budget

Kravet Quilted Fabric in Ice Blue (28781-15)  $115/yard and Cherry stained Lyptus legs.

Budget:

Lumber:   $100
Springs:    $50
Misc:          $25
Fabric :      $800 (7 yards at $115/yard)
Dacron Wrap Foam Cushion:    $150  (2 cushions at $75/cushion)
Labor:        $2,000

Total Cost:            $3,125

Retail Price:          $5,000

Week 14: Final Project – The Duncan Loveseat

Here is a rendered view of my final product.  I am calling the loveseat The Duncan Loveseat after my grandmother’s maiden name, because her chair was the inspiration for the loveseat.  It is suppose to be a rather structured and formal loveseat with horizontal/clean lines and a retro feel.  It has a firm but comfortable seat and is perfect for any sitting area.  I used the blue chenille quilted cloth to give the structured lines of the loveseat a softer more inviting feel.  I really enjoyed this project and hope you enjoy seeing the process!  And Happy Holidays to everyone!

The “Chloe” Sofa by Jahaila Sing

                          

 

The Chloe Sofa

 

 

 “The Chloe Sofa”, is a continuation of my experiment in modern curved pieces of furniture as expressed in my last entry, the entertainment unit. I was interested in seeing what might happen when using the same concept of curved lines and creating a somewhat module form now functional for a person or two to sit within. “Sitting within” is really what I wanted to create for the person to experience. A sort of inclosed atmosphere within the sofa. Instead of sitting just on the sofa you are now sitting within it. Feeling enveloped in the warm rich walnut and cushioned by velvet. This feeling or atmosphere I wanted to create really gave me a chance to exaggerate the back of the sofa, creating a cocoon or “private” place to sit back into. The tufted back cushions add softness and high visual contrast to the dark wood. A bolster on each side add a finished touch. The soft cushions are finished with cording in the same rich velvet upholstery. 

My intent was to design a piece that would be used in a formal setting and have a strong presence. A piece that was not just functional but also sculptural.

Ashley Hughes Final Sketch of Sofa

Here is my final idea of my sofa….I think it worked out just the way I wanted it to.

The arms, legs, and camel back are made of wood and only the arm side cushions and seat cushions are fabric.

The arm side cushions are used as arm rests that hang over the wooden arm.

The side view has an angle feel to it and it is very open. I want this sofa to look fresh and clean that is modern but yet small simple details in the frame that give it a tradional, comfortable feel.

View this galley of my sofa for a better look!

84″ W x 31″ H 29″ D     Seat Ht 16″

 

Will be adding Cad drawings very soon!!!!

Ashley Hughes Sofa Inspiration Sketches

Here are my inspirational sketches. Since I am working with the Camel back I had a difficult time trying to create my sofa. I want to use more wood then upholstery to give the sofa a completely  different look all together. Here are some sketches that will help me get to my final project!!!

 

 

Since I want to go with the tradional camel back and the danish mondern I am leaning more towards my last sketch to help me with the final sketch,

I love the idea of the wooden camel back!  Now I just have to find out how to make the idea work!!

Sofa Sketches – Jennifer Slager

      

These are some conceptual sketches of my sofa design.

I want to create something custom that will suit a wide variety of needs while still keeping in mind my AV Cabinet project.  I want to make the two furniture pieces coordinate.

Sketching..Sketching..and more sketching.

This was my very first sketch.  I actually created this the day we were told to about this competition. 

This piece was inspired by my A/V cabinet.  I wanted to play with curves and swirls, push the boundaries a little more.  The details would be key for this sofa.

I wanted to create something unique and new, something the world have never seen before.  I love the sculptural aspect of this sofa. 

This piece was inpsired by the mid-20th century.   I wanted to play with the scale and proportions with this sofa. 

I wanted to move into a different direction, create something very different than the rest of my sketches.  This is only half of the “full sofa”, making it easy to move and assemble.

I love the shape of this piece, it was inpsired by Perlora’s cachet fushion love seat.  This is the sofa I am going to continue with. 

 

The final sketch— COMING SOON!

Sheryl Houda- Sofa Inspirations

The first picture, I like the unusal back of the sofa, almost heart shaped back with the metal legs.

The second picture, I like that the back of the sofa to the seat is separte giving it a unique detail to the sofa.

The third picture, I like the tuffing detail on the back of the sofa.

The fourth picture, I like the legs with the ‘X’ form which was used on my av cabinet, so I might incorporate it into my sofa.

The fifth picture, I like the high back with the curved arms.

The final picture, I like the clean lines but with the slight curve on the arms.

These collections are ones that I found on ArchiTonic.com…

N11 Form Collection designed by Francesc Rife

    

Domino Collection designed by Emaf Progetti

I am very inspired by the modular shape and function within all the furniture collections.  Furniture needs to be flexible in order to fit into different spaces.  I want my piece to be visually appealing with the use or printed fabrics and a variety of materials.  A sofa should be inviting, and easy to curl up in.  A variety of sizes in seating depth would accomodate all heights and make the sofa warm and inviting for everyone.  The goal is to be as functional as possible so I would like to incorporate storage into my piece as well.

Ashley Hughes- Week8 Sofa Inspirations

The first idea that popped into my head was vintage clothing on a modern model.. and I took the idea from there..

Vogue is one of my inspirations…My idea is to have a vintage FEEL and a modern LOOK.

Old to New and Vintage to Modern

I would love to work with the camel back! I could use clean lines, add texture such as nail heads and bright fabric to make the product come alive!

What I love about these forms are the exaggerated high backs. They are bold and create endless possibilities of texture and overall form. In the Karacoma, I enoy the combination and playfulness of these very diverse textiles used together. I am always looking out for a new modern approach to great classic ideas.

Week 8 Sofa Inspiration-Heather Harmston

I love the shape and the curves of not only the structure but the cushions.

The style that has been extremely inspiring to me is the chaise lounge. I love how sleek it can be yet how comfortable it can be. I love the soft cushiony look of the sofa, however I really like the crisp organic movement that the other two chaise lounges have.

 

 

 

 

 

A beautiful movement is created by this piece

I love the feel of comfort in this couch as well as the soft edges

About the Unit

This av. unit is intended to be a floor to ceiling unit that can act as a divider between two spaces, for example between a bedroom and living room in a studio apartment, or between a dinning and living room area. It is intended to make the most of one television enabling the owner to simply swivel the television around to the other side if moving to the other room.

The unit also acts as a storage unit for many miscellaneous things, with a variety of cabinet sizes to fit any need. It is viewable from all sides and can come in a variety of options. The unit shown can be separated into 5 separate pieces, the bottom and top cabinets, the ceiling television mount, and the two side cabinet pieces. This allows the unit to be more easily transportable and also give the consumer options to how they want the cabinet set up. For example they could choose to simply not have one of the side cabinets and that would make the rotating of the television even easier and give a more open feel.

Sara Fisher – Final Entry – Hi Fidelity

My final concept is to be called Hi Fidelity because of the 1950’s Inspiration.  It is low horizontal piece with a center cabinet for AV equipment and open storage on the side. There is no hardware on the cabinet doors, it is a touch and open hinge.  I used Lyptus a fast regenerating wood and MDF to construct the piece.  In my rendering I showed the piece in a warm cherry stain, but stain can be optional.  I really had a lot of fun creating this piece as well as seeing what others have created.  I look forward to the next step creating a sofa!
