The Freedman Chair JNDC has developed a working prototype chair that improves the way we sit with the focus of our body's structure as paramount. The initial concept and design had been developed by Simon Freedman an osteopath. JNDC's brief was to engineer a dynamic design using as little material as possible to achieve the lowest weight and carbon footprint, as well as considering the ease of manufacture. After detailed engineering drawings were completed to a high tolerance the prototype was manufactured using a combination of investment casting, CNC maching as well as rapid prototyping. The thin aluminium seat pads were first printed in wax using a Thermojet 3D printer, then covered with a ceramic coating and finally fired to prepare the mould for casting. The molten aluminium was cast and after cooling was shot blasted to produce the final product. Using JNDC’s in house assembly facilities all parts were quality checked and assembled to form the first prototype. A limited edition will be manufactured specifically to clients thumb prints. The chair won the top award for design at an international show. JNDC are now in the process of preparing the product for the manufacture of 1000 units, as well as a wooden version.
