Barrel Chairs

I recently worked for a great company in LA called IDF. I was there, unfortunately, for a short time but in that time was privileged to work of some pretty amazing things. I started as a shop guy with them but quickly moved onto project managing and design things. I have never ever, to this day, been more challenged than on the "barrel chair" project. I was involved in not only designing and drafting this project on the computer but involved in trying to figure out how to make it a reality on the shop floor. There was lot of experimenting and lots of minds and hands involved. 

You know that feeling at the end of the day when your mind just wants to quit? Like it's trying to slide out of your ear unnoticed? This project was that for me. For months. But I can honestly say I have zero regrets or disappoints and can not wait for the next opportunity for another amazing challenge like this.

the project was a large one involving many designers and different fabrication shops around LA. One of the the pieces of the "Jager Haus" that I was involved in was the Barrel Chair. Jager Haus was a lounge at the EDM festival. I was involved in designing and drafting the plans and the working in the shop to figure out if our Ideas were going to work. There were a lot of trail and error involved. It was a lot of fun. 

My family relocated back up north before I was able to see the project through to completion but I was able to see some of the finished pictures. Now that it is no longer a secret I feel pretty comfortable that it is okay for me to share a few of the pictures with y'all. 

Here is one of the two chairs in progress. 

This is a photo of them set up all decorated and looking pretty.
