CAMPUS CLIPS 36 PHOTO: PAM WIGLEY Showing off their chairs are interior design students (seated) Sarah Hoffman and (standing) Mary Pat Blaylock. ID Students’ Creativity Yields Furniture Acool project was under way this spring at La Roche, where the Interior Design Department’s Freshman Studio class explored “ergonomics through cardboard” via their annual cardboard chairs project. Students were required to create a chair out of corrugated cardboard, and it had to be capable of withstanding 150 pounds without tipping. No fasteners could be used, with the exception of wood glue. The purpose of the project was for classmates to get better acquainted, to experience working in a team and to simulate the design-build process in a small-scale project, according to Department Chair Nicole Bieak-Kreidler. The chairs were on display in the hallway outside of the bookstore through the end of the semester.
