Position: designer/fabricater in collaboration with: Chrisitan Easley, Chad Gleason, Brian Boeding, Lee Beukelman

As a team we set out to design and fabricate a chair for the Iowa States University entry in the 2009 Int. Solar Decatholon Competition. Due to the small living space, the chairs were designed to be multifunctional. By moving the back board, each structure could act as a chair, an end table, and a foot stool.
