Project

Balcony Swing

I designed and built a swing for our balcony in one week. I decided to challenge myself by designing a nontraditional frame and art nouveau-inspired chair.

Context

A swing for the balcony?

My apartment has a beautiful outdoor balcony space. My roommates and I decided on a balcony swing but couldn’t find any on the market that we agreed on/would fit the dimensions of the space. So the only logical thing to do was to build one!
