Pipo Chair
Case Study
Furniture Design + Visual Communication
2 Days
2024
Scope
Learn more about modeling in Rhino and how to create scenes for Furniture design in rendering softwares.
Process
I started by finding a tutorial for a project that I enjoyed. You can watch the tutorial by The Adam here.
The Pipo Chair is a great object to begin with because it takes a lot of different tools to model. The form itself is also beautifully organic which helped me to learn more about surface modeling. From there, I created the chair in Rhino and sent it over to Keyshot.
Keyshot is where I spent most of my time during this project. I did not use a tutorial and wanted to understand furniture lighting using the photography knowledge I already had. I played around with different enviroments - some more realistic than others - which helped me to get a feel for what type of lights do what and where to place them.
Outcome
An understanding of Rhino parametric modeling and increased knowledge in furniture rendering.
