Brilliant!!!!

Hey I ordered a flex about a week ago and it hasnt shipped yet.. is there an ETA on when the next batch arrives?

how freaking cool is this! 😍

Is there any plans to support shipping to Canada in future?

cool design

Wow I love this! Ive been working on a chair design inspired by the Eames that shares in this same design language! Haha the chair is even called the "Flex Chair". What a small world! Would love to show it to you guys sometime. Its constructed utilizing bent wood lamination as well and uses maple and walnut veneers

Looks very sleek!

how can it cost me to get this type of setup?

WELCOME BACK!!

Good to see you back Conor!

HI I send you an email do you mind have a look at it .... Thanks

That definitely looks pretty interesting and has that "Hey this is something new" -appeal. It's always difficult to sell something when you're not unique in some way. I think this accomplishes it very nicely. Eases assembly, can look appealing and unique, and can give something for the engineer husband to play with for no reason after it's assembled.

An easy to assemble flat-pack chair will change the game!

I’m going on a deep dive here on UA-cam! Great stuff Conor!

Hey, did you also cut the slots in the chair legs for the plates on the cnc, or did you have to create some kind of jig to router them.

8:05 I'm worried that this joining method won't hold much weight because of the round dowel. It's kinda designed to pop out if you put weight on it because it'll bend the bottom piece outwards and just fall down. A rectangular dowel wouldn't do that because there's no slope to help it rise out of the slot. Of course if the whole thing is super rigid it won't happen, but plywood tends to have a bit of a give to it. If you're really into the round look but still want the stability, you could make the dowel a very rounded flat piece so that there's enough of a flat spot to prevent that, umm, slope-effect.

lol at the opening scene 🤣

Great quality and finish on the walnut plywood, they would look good next to an Eames lounge chair

🤘🤘🤘

beautiful store? Why did you choose to light everything EXCEPT the products in the final display? is direct lighting on the shoes distracting?

Pretty awesome. This is going to change things!

Really cool how you can use the CNC for the cutting the piece off the 3D mold

So cool to see the process, I want to test out the seats please!

Definitely prefer the backrest that flares up towards the top than the rounder version you started with. Maybe even a bit pointier top corners perhaps? Well design is in the eye of the beholder of course. One thing I would consider is playing around with the part where the seat and the feet meet. It doesn't necessarily have to be a flat mating surface all the way. Something along the lines of the stuff Foureyes furniture do with their tables. Just cutting out a bit of the support here and there to make more interesting shapes. Again, eye of the beholder, but I like my eyes so my opinion is the best.

Keep it up guys. Big inspiration. I'll make one.... One day........;)

I'm a boatbuilder and industrial designer. I often help out some furniture designers find fabrication solutions. This is just a thought, but I wonder if the bag would have a harder time sucking into those edge gaps if the mould were a couple inches wider than the part. And/Or maybe even a sacrificial bendy ply/hdpe layer over top that is a couple inches wider. Following that line of thinking: A clamping caul that has tambour corners. Tacked down with a few screws to the mould below. Gets rid of the tape operation. Work it down with a few small hand clamps. Screw it down. Into the bag. Vacuum does the rest.

These videos are incredibly valuable, coming from and engineer, manufacturer and wannabe designer. Please keep making them and documenting the processes. Thank you!

very interesting, thank you

Curious to see what solution you come up with for the fixings and assembly, as its got to be quick and easy for the customer, but also really strong

Amazing to see your processes! I feel like showing the creative process is tricky so it's great to see!

So cool! Cant wait to see the chair come together 😊😊

'Promosm' 🎊

Cool stuff. I just started bagging. I skip the plattens and use a breather mesh. I found it helps save the bag from sharp corners and getting sucked in.

Rip Jig 1 and short but meaningful life!

I, for one, welcome our new vacuum bag overlord

EPIC!

Would the vacuum bag work if you had side pieces attached to the form/buck that extended to the same height as the 'finished' profile (or at least a couple of mm below the finished profile height)? Really interesting experiments, though - reminds me a lot of generic vacuum-forming with heated plastics, and I wonder if there are lessons to be learnt from that field? Including raising the bucks height a bit/creating relief areas/etc. Great food for thought, and thank you for sharing your work in progress!

The finished pieces look great, looking forward to seeing the chair development also

Awesome! What software do you work on?

Good work Choco, keep them coming 👍🏻

We love when Mother Nature and hectors brain get a feature!

You should never try and be "really clever" man...

Great stuff man. Hello from Kilkenny

Too cute and too clever!!

Oh that’s an awesome idea! Also loving the graphics!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You can also make the smaller upper part of the mold a 2-parter as long as you make the cut-line angled (as demonstrated below in wonderful ascii-graphics). That way you can slide the part on the right side in and just need to clamp it down so it can't slide up again. | \ | |_____\____| But obviously making either mold part a 2-parter will do the trick. It's really only about which is easier/sturdier/easier to line up.

Welcome back

Good to have you back Conor. You have a lovely design aesthetic and I’m excited to watch your new series. Congrats on the “new” business and workspace!

Very cool man! Great to see a new concept come to life and excited to see the finished product!

Amazing to see this process. Love to see you making something so functional and multi purpose. Pushing how we think about furniture in our home. Love it!
