Chess Table Design Board

I thought it would be worthwhile to illustrate my process for designing a piece of furniture. This particular piece is influenced primarily by 1920's and 1930's Ruhlmann Art Deco work and 17th and 18th century marquetry cabinets. The many details are brought together in an original piece faithful to the Art Deco style of the 20's and 30'. This design board shows in detail the evolution of this piece from the initial cabinet design through to a smaller table design and is well documented in the 3-D models I use for all of my design work. Also visible are the key design details which are present in the initial design and follow through to the final design essentially unchanged. Each step in the evolution of this design is documented to demonstrate how a piece of my furniture changes through the process of refining a design.
