This first prototype of my chair has assured me that the design is both functional and of reasonable size.
The main structural integrity of the chair is fine, however the backing of the chair requires some reinforcement.

I will probably need to place a piece of wood perpendicular to the backing of the chair on either side running down to the floor.

The main aesthetic design is a bit different than what I had first envisioned however I really enjoy it and would like to continue to use this style.

For my next iteration of the chair I would like to keep the form of the chair almost the same but create complex etchings and designs to the chair in order to make it seem more ornate.

The painted prototype has also helped me envision what I would like my color scheme to be. The color also shows very nicely on camera which should make photographing the piece much easier.

The Burnt Sienna with white accents seems to allow the chair to be a part of two different realms; a classic, adult style  and a child’s room style. This can work very effectively with my upcoming altered concept.
