By Frank

2. Design brief
Problem: the chair easily flip over when you lean on them on the wrong way.
Solution: expanding the length of the fabric seat.
Another solution: expanding the length of the fabric seat by this it will increase the surface area.
Plywood is material I’m going to use.

3. Plywood is the best option to use: it’s a unique cross-layered structure, the adhesive used to bond the veneers in plywood are actually stronger than the wood itself.
The durability of this wood is quite good because its can last for a vast amount of years.
