Interior Design Video - Brian Kane, Furniture Designer

As a school, Sheffield reaches creative people who want to become more professional about their creativity - as a better hobbyist or as a serious professional. I was really drawn to today's video because it does such a thorough job of documenting a creative professional's design process. San Francisco furniture designer Brian Kane takes us from initial sketches to full-scale renderings to computer drawings and on to prototypes. The process is hypnotic, as he takes some ideas for a chair through to a finished product; and we see other examples of his popular work.

    I inspired by the Brian's design and thoughts to reshaping the world of modern furniture. Regarding his design achievements, One of Mr. Kane's biggest hits was a park bench dubbed Hyde Park, created in the early 1990s. Though made of steel, the bench has curved arms and back rests that make it look like an elegant sofa. Mr. Kane said he used a "living-room approach" to defy park-bench conventions. "I believe that if a chair or a bench looks comfortable, it will be sat on," he said. More than 7,000 of the benches have been sold so far.

    In the field of furniture designing, I can actually tell that it is really a risky since we do not know what is the interest of the buyer.
    It is Very Exclusive simple Chair. need powerfull time to make it. Good Job.
