Syntactical Guidlines - Design Success & Failure

-->

This is a picture of the Mimosa Coffee Table by Matt Carr. The continuous plank of wood creates a simple, yet functional piece of furniture. Magazines can be held in the center portion of the table, which when full, would provide literal and visual bottom weight. The symmetrical W shape of the furniture provides solid base, creating a sturdy coffee table.






This is a picture of a Three Legged Chair by Joaquim Tenreiro. The pattern created by gluing pieces of wood together creates a beautiful design. If you were to look at the chair from the front, the shape and color pattern would create a symmetrical design. In my opinion, the triangular base creates tension. The two planks in the front provide stability, but most of a persons weight is put on the back of the chair. The single leg in the back would support a weight, but any movement would result in the chair falling to one side.
