About the project
Director chairs look simple, but the folding cross-legs, pivot bolts and the way the canvas hangs between the rails have to be right or the chair looks wrong. The model keeps every part separate and named, so the canvas colour or wood finish can be changed in seconds.
The source file was heavy because of the hardware: dozens of small screws and washers with far more detail than anyone will see. I simplified those parts heavily and kept the visible geometry intact, which cut the file to under 2% of its original size.
