Parametric Furniture Design

For our next project I've gravitated towards looking at naturally occurring shapes in nature. I think this is a good use of digital design as machines can handle the precise calculations. It's also an opportunity to test materials such as paper which I believe is highly versatile if it's durability is catered to. Some components I've considered are feather barbules, milk cartons, Origami, and chains. just different ways to make planes and extrusions with their own properties. Honestly I'm struggling to come up with a suitable design for my project but I believe I have some solid groundwork.

Furniture Final

For my Furniture Design I chose to design chairs that respond to visual generations of sound waves. I wanted to create an object that would be responsive to personal taste as any form of audio can be used to generate a chair for the user.  I used both Grasshopper from Rhino 3D and Processing. In Processing I used the Sound library which allowed me to import sound files and then extract information like amplitude. To generate the proper image I had to first tune the graph to fit inside the image size I set. My first image was a line graph which quickly became unmanageable in Grasshopper. Grasshopper processes images by pushing a grid through the image and outputting a value of 0 to 1 for darkness or 0 to 255 for colour. To do this I needed to push a grid through it however that was both unmanagable, CPU expensive, and would only create a outline of the image of sound instead of values from the sound.  To solve this I changed it from a linegraph to a barcode pattern with
