When Molded Plywood Just Won’t Do
Visually, this chair by Kedar Naik seems like the perfect way to relax after a long day’s work. Its winding graceful lines seem to impose no constraints on the user’s body save its own natural form. That being said, the Glide chair’s only cited materials are aluminum and lacquered fiberglass, neither of which strike me as particularly comfortable. Perhaps this is a piece best put artfully in a corner and pointed to whenever one has guests.

the tempered aluminum base gives it the spring and the fiberglass upper is funmently no different than plywood, just toss on a nice bit of padding and your good to go..
So says
Hmm im thinking will it bend out of shape or snap?
zippyflounder says
naw, 1/4 to 1/2 thick temperd alumium will do the trick and a bit of carbon fiber or nomex honeycomb in the upper keeps it stiff.
Keith says
Even 1/2 inch thick Al would be pushing it. Maybe 3/4 stainle$$.
zippyflounder says
have to run the numbers, could do a nice bit of composite though allow where you see it carbon where you don’t.
