CHRISTMAS THRONE

DESIGN Here is where the

throne was born. The idea of this

armchair for Santa Claus was developed by Sara Cecchini and she was helped by a group of our class.

The original drawing was magnified so that it could have the actual measurements of the throne.

SHAPEWe took the magnified design, that was on a sheet

of paper, and we put it on a piece of “styrodur”, (a very strong polystyrene) the material that we

used for the throne. We retraced the drawing of the armchair on the material and then we cut it

and shaped it.

In some parts of the throne, to create bas-reliefs, we used a particular tool: the milling machine.

ASSEMBLY We took all the pieces of the throne that we had

realized and we assembled them using a special glue.

Once assembled the throne was sanded and then puttied.

Afterwards we coloured it using gold, white and red.

If you want to see it or take a picture of it you can find it in piazzale Lazzarini, in Pesaro.
