The design prompt for this project was to make a flatpack ¾ inch plywood chair that could be CNC milled and disassembled to fit in a suitcase. No hardware or glue could be used for assembly. Initial design sketches were done in paper or cardboard. Group critique was used to narrow design ideas. Models progressed to foam core models initially cut by hand. Once a rough design was established, the design was transferred to AutoCAD. Using Laserworx and the lasercutter, precise foam core models were created with accurate joinery. Joinery logistics and design aesthetics were worked out through a series of critiques. An 1/8th scale model was made in ¼ inch plywood using the lasercutter. After another round of critique, a 2/3rds scale model was milled in ½ inch plywood on a CNC router. The AutoCAD file was transferred to Fusion 360 and constructed into a 3D model and animated. The final chair was milled on the CNC router and assembled.

The name for the chair is Viginticrus and comes from Latin for 20 legs. Inspiration for the chair came from a sculpture by Louis Bourgeois sculpture entitled, The Blind Leading the Blind from 1947.
