Our goal is to design a chair by creating a cantilever structure in such way that maximizes stiffness and stability while ensuring that no members exceed their structural capacity.
The “intuitive“ solutions in our design space is a chair constructed with a normal truss with inner nodes evenly distributed in the centerline of the geometry. After the process of computation design, we found a better solution which have less weight and less displacement, at the same time the utilization rate of every component doesn’t exceed 50%.
