I like this design, as the chairs look very I love this table, because its really different Very nice and colourful, yet the same design as many. aestheticly pleasing, even though the and outdoors-y. layout looks a bit the same to most designs.

I was looking up "lego furniture" on google to get some ideas, as most young kids, to my knowledge, love playing with Lego. I thought that this image was really clever and its a really good idea to get the chair/table to fold up for using less space in storage. maybe i could have a lego-themed piece of furniture, seeing as lego itself would be too rigid and hard to sit on. (lego table?).

i like this design, but maybe the actual flat of the table could be lego too, like one colour or maybe even a decorative design made out of lego. This way, the "plane" would be built sideways, so that the surface to draw/write/ doodle on would be flat. Also, if this type of table would be put, for example in a waiting room, then the table would also double up as a toy, and the children could break it up and put it back together.

This table is more what i was thinking about, the way it seems really simple, yet very effective in its job. i love this design.



Ideas.

====here is an idea i had of a collapsibe chair, so that it can be easly transported and take from from place to place. it is i four equal sections, and they can all fold 360° around the fold behind it. it can also be flded into most shapes with four sides, so it can beccome a work table, a deck chair; a flat-packed table or a "tent" for kids.==== i like the design, but i need t work on how the pieces can be folded so extremely, or how kids/adults don tget their fingers caught in the corners.



This is a big teddy bear, that has been stuffed and has had wire put through the limbs, so that they can be safely bent as to create a comfortable "hug" for a small child. it aslo contains "beans", so that it is free-standing. i like the fabric, because it woud be something nice a nd soft like felt.

This is my favourite design. it is basically a giant "Beanie Baby", as it is stuffed in a similar way. It is a giant snake, with Velcro strips down the side. It can be bent and twisted into different shapes, including curled up in a circle as to make a large seat, a tight circle as to create a plaything for kids, a long line, (straight), for a ong sofa or plaything. i love this idea, but it would demand a lot of material, like felt, beans, and velcro, of course.



These are some pattern ideas for my piece, whichever i choose to go through and make. sunflowers, stripes, bubbles sweets and Smileys.

This is an idea of aanother table. It can aslo be flatèapcked, but when folded out into a table, each edge creates a leg for the table; to make it able enough to free-stand. So it the chair, but it might be very complicated to physically make, with so many pieces and limbs. Again, i like the concept of the idea, but still have to think about the possibility of injury by fingers ect getting trapped in the edges of sides being folded. this is a page full of ideas, and sketches of concepts. i like the idea of the hammoc, as it is quite aesthetically pleasing and demands little material. also i like the idea of a giant plastic ball, make out of plastic PVC, with a cushon on the inside and can be used as a fun seat.
