Here I was refining my concept and looking at the ways in which to develop it further in terms of the shape and ways of achieving the curve. I first tried to mark out where i would need to make the cuts on ome of my existing pasteboard models. I then tried it multiple times in xanita board varying the width of the gap made between the front surface and the seat. I had trouble with this section because where the two curved faces met, the thin layer of card tore.
I experimented with just having scores along the underside of the seat as well as actually removing material. I also looked at having less of a gradual curve and making it curve using just three flat surfaces at different angles. I like this idea as it created a more enticing seat yet still stuck to the 'truth to material' idea.
As I would like to conceal all cuts made to achieve folds by having them all on the interior of the chair, I focused on trying to achieve bends through cutting only the undersides of all the surface. I may have to consider looking at cutting the visible side of the seat to achieve a good curve.
