Chair Design: The Helix

The Helix Chair was inspired by nature and its fundamental building block, DNA. Just like DNA, I wanted to see if this chairs elements could be made from straight rods of steel, spiraling around a cent

ral axis, similar to DNA. It was an undergraduate project and I have yet to find a chair with the similar objective or form yet.
