Model Making - Small Scale Conoid Chair

A small scale model of the famous Conoid chair made by George Nakashima

Final Pictures of the Model - I made a 1 : 5 scaled down model of the famous Conoid Chair . The wood used was teak since it is easy to work with. A 11”x6”x1” block of wood was used. The original chair is made from rose wood.

Final Pictures of the Model - Rectangular pieces were cut for each of the parts. The parts were then cut out from these rectangular pieces using a jig-saw and filed using a sanding machine.

Final Pictures of the Model - The spindles are 2 mm in diameter at the top and increase to 3 mm towards the middle. They then taper down to 2.5 mm towards the bottom. There are 8 such spindles for the back. These spindles were prepared by first cutting out 4 mm cuboidal pieces which were around 20 cm long. They were then rounded using a filer and sand paper. The leg joinery is tongue in groove.

Final Pictures of the Model - The seat has been given its shape using sanding paper and filers.
