I found a chair that I was really interested in - This is called the Vitra Tip ton chair by Jay Ogersby and Edward Barber. The picture here I think is really clever and I would like to try and do this with some of my pictures from my mechanism as it illustrates the movement really well.





This is a picture of my prototype to try and achieve the same result...

I have come to the point in the project where everything is comng together. The cams have been CNC cut so that they are perfectly round and are the correct size for the boxes to be lifted.

Once the cams have been painted the mechanism can be bolted onto the table securely.

This is something like the way that I would like to present my exhibition. Like the websites such as 'Unto the last' and ikea where you can choose your own colour.

I have used the CNC machine to cut these square 10.2 X 10.2cm out so that the boxes can be pushed out, in a way that is smooth because of the accuracy of the cut.  The box here is the one that I will be using for the side table with the perspex top. That is why there is no lid.

I have finished my first prototype of my cam mechanism table. I have realised through this the mistakes that I have made and how I will change it.  Here is a short stop animation movie of the cam mechanism working and how the table will work.
