This chair is build from both recycled aluminum and reclaimed concrete. Meant to be placed outdoors in a park along the alley or in your backyard around the coffee table. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_recycling

Interesting idea ... maybe it's worth studying even an aluminum stand
Hey Mario! Thanks for the feedback. I don't understand the aluminum stand tip. :)
You have proposed a base for your chair in concrete. I think it would be a good idea to propose it in aluminum. Not necessarily of the same shape, but in aluminum. The brief speaks of 70% of aluminum in the proposals...
Hey Valentin, yes I agree with Mario!!! The base of the chair seems like it would be very heavy to move if it is in concrete! Maybe you can make it in aluminium too or out of a lighter material! What do you think? :)
Great idea and design! Regarding materials: Maybe propose 2 solutions. Aluminium stand for at home (easy to move around) and concrete stand for public areas.
Thank you all for your comments. Indeed, a concrete stand would be hard to move around. As it is a render, the material can be easily changed, but I will think about something else. Anyway, the concrete version will stay here as an option, like Monika said
Following your comments, I uploaded two other versions with aluminum stands / legs
Hello ! Great to see an update ! I think it`s better this version with aluminium and not for concrete.
I have only a small doubt about the lower part of the chair, where the circles meet the legs when siting on the chair. Do you think its comfortable? For example, I sometimes like to put my feet under the chair Im sitting on. Think about if it`s difficult to stand from your chair - i think you may hit your calves when rising.
Hi Cristina! (Buna! :) ) Combining tolgatuncer's idea, I think I can overcome this. See you on the next update! :)
Hi,
Great visuals! too realistic. When I am trying to see the opportunity and potential in this project, the first thing comes to my mind is : you can make these layers rotatable. By doing so we can also have a table with re-arranging/aligning the aluminum profiles. Ofc, you can use aluminum in center part instead of concrete. Just an idea that may make it interesting. Good luck!
Thanks a lot tolgatuncer! Actually that is a great idea! I will render it tonight. Cheers!
Hi, missed the mark with the "render it tonight" statement, but I finally uploaded a version of the chair with the circles folded to form a table. Thanks again for this idea!
Hi Valentin,
It made me happy and honoured to see the update that considered my comment. I think it is getting better ! Still needs details but you had limited time and i think it is ok :) Stunning rendering skills btw! Also thanks for positive and open minded attitude!
Thanks a lot for all your kind words! And, trust me, it is hard not to listen to great advice
Best of luck!
Thanks a lot everyone! I really appreciate your feedback. @Burak The seat and surrounding circles are fixed together at the pivoting point with a center axis. This can be tightened in any position, including table mode. @Isis Let's wait for the Nespresso jury to have their saying :)
Concrete and aluminum is a great combination. Material antagonists that complement each other. Good luck!
It was the best way that we were knowing to have the fortnite hack here. http://superhack.net/fortnite
