for the mdf prototype i glued cloth to the joints instead of leather. obviously the cloth doesn't react in the same way the leather does, but it holds quite well and is much cheaper.
i didn't have time to make the edge connections as i would've liked before the review, so i just used zip ties to connect the edges.
after finishing the mdf prototype my greatest fear turned out to be true. the thin material doesn't have a large enough contact surface where the mitered edges meet.
last friday we also had the final review of our project before the deadline. we came to the conclusion that the best, or perhaps, most fitting way to fix the problem was to "hang" the chair onto the wall. i'm not totally happy with this idea, but i'll see what comes out of it. i need to get the final design finished so i can start on the final prototype next week. this leaves me with one week to finish the prototype and one week to finish the graphics for the exhibition.
