Apart from coming upwith ideas on products that are made of e-waste we decided on a designstatement that defines the direction of the project that the group is pursuing. Ourgroup wants to make a product that could be mass produced using e-waste. Wedo not want our product to look like it was made out of old electroniccomponents, on the other hand we want to create something that is aestheticallysharp and that could maybe even used as a sculptural piece. With all this beingsaid our group has decided to create a modular chair that has a sculpturalelement to it. We will be using CPU shells to make the body and ribbon cable forthe seating component. Shown is a computer rendering of the chair without theribbon cable in its place.
