I remember that when I was younger I saw a picture with something that looked like a queen’s crown. And when I read the article in that magazine I realized that it was actually a drop of water splashed into a glass of water, everything caught on photo by a very slow motion camera. I guess that was the exact source of inspiration for the designer Michael Wendel when he created this very unusual chair. The Splash lounge chair looks amazing and you would say it is made of milk, with droplets splashing all over the place.Unfortunately for some people, myself included, who already started dreaming of lying on this chair and savouring a nice cup of icecream there in a hot summer night, this chair that I present here is only a model that was designed with an artistic purpose, but I still think the idea is great and the result even better and I am waiting impatiently for the moment when they start producing it for the public.If you are interested and want to find out more details about this original chair – something like the exact material it was made of and just how much paint they used and something similar.
Ever look at macro photos of water splashes or super slow mo’ video of a droplet slamming into the surface sending ripples across a lake? There’s a moment in that 1/10 of a second when the impact creates a crater or sorts, as if you were small enough, it could neatly cup you. Inspired designer Michael Wendel created a 1/8th scale model called the Splash Lounge Chair, big enough for us to sit in. How It Was Made: The chair was sculpted at 1/8th scale using Sculpey clay. From there, the model was cut into ¼ inch slices. These slices were scanned, blown up to full scale, and plotted to be used as a template for the full scale model. From there, the templates were adhered to 2 inch pink insulation foam, cut out, and assembled to the full scale form. Countless hours of sanding later, the form was coated in 4 coats of Elmer’s glue to protect the foam from resin. After the glue was dried, the form was sprayed with chopped fiberglass using a chopper gun. Once dried, the fiberglass was sanded down, then coated with Bondo.
After sanding the Bondo as smooth as possible, it was painted with high epoxy glossy white paint.Designer: Michael L.
