Reliance Medical 520 Exam Chair - Design intent rendering The 520 Chair was designed as a low-cost alternative to pre-owned exam chairs for optometrists. Features such as the one piece seat and back, cast aluminum arms and foot rest and easy to change upholstery add value to an overlooked segment. My tasks included concept sketching, design refinement and creation of Pro Engineer databases which incorporated the client's mechanical systems.
Chair Sketches - Early sketches explored different directions. Once a design was chosen, my task was to integrate features such as the foot rest and armrests.
